It is located on the left bank of the river Wagai that gives it its name , a few kilometers above its confluence with the Irtysh . The village should not be confused with Wagai of the same name on the upper reaches of the river, in the Omutinski rajon of the Tyumen Oblast.

history

The village goes back to the Wagaiski ostrog , which was built at the beginning of the 17th century (1612 at the earliest) not far from the place where the Russian "conqueror of Siberia" Yermak Timofejewitsch drowned in Vagai in 1585. The Ostrog was relocated several times until the 1630s; The village of Adbaschskoje (also Atbaschskoje ), the name of which goes back to a Turkic-speaking toponym, was finally built in place of the current location . At the beginning of the 20th century it was renamed Wagai after the river .

In November 1923, the village came to the newly formed Tschernokowski rajon, based in the village of Tschornoje a good 30 km south . Through its merger with the Dubrowinski rajon to the east on January 7, 1932, the Wagaiski rajon was created with its headquarters in Wagai. As a result of the handover of some village soviets (selsowet) of the neighboring Tobolski rajon to the Wagaiski rajon on January 25, 1935, another village called Wagai, located opposite the mouth of the Wagai on the right bank of the Irtysh, came to the Rajon. This was renamed Wtorowagaiskoje (from "Wtoroi Wagai" for "Second Wagai"), and the village soviet accordingly became Wtorowagaiski (was dissolved in 1984). The Rajonzentrum kept its name, but the village soviet was called Perwowagaiski (from “Perwy Wagai” for “First Wagai”), which was also transferred to the name of the present-day community.
