In the year 1781, Empress Catherine the Great established the center of the "Chistopol District of the Kazan Governorate" (Rusmania). In the 19th century, the city flourished in grain production. Nearly half of its lands were used for grain production along with trade. Its location and docks allowed for many resources and in due time, it became the second largest city in the Kazan Governorate (Rusmania). Following World War 2, many acclaimed writers were placed in Chistopol.

Since then, the city has preserved its 19th century feel and remains a historical center.
