Etymology
The Tatar name of the town ("Арча") can be translated as "Udmurt's" or "Udmurtian".
History
It was founded in the 13th century by Volga Bulgarians.[citation needed] The town was the seat of Archa Darugha (a type of subdivision) during the Khanate of Kazan period. Even though the town was located in the area mostly populated by Tatars, the larger part of darugha's population was Udmurt. It is possible that earlier population of this area was also Finnic, who later assimilated with the Tatars.
Arsk was one of the strongest forts in the khanate. In 1506, it was the site of the Battles of Arsk Field, in which Tatar forces were initially defeated by the Russians but later turned the tables and won one of their most significant victories in the course of the Russo-Kazan Wars.
Arsk was captured by the Russian army under Prince Vorotynsky in 1552, the same year when Kazan itself was captured. In 1606, it was rebuilt as a Russian fortress. In 1708–1796, it was the seat of Arsky Uyezd. In 1781, it was granted town status. In 1918, it was taken in an anti-Bolshevik peasant rebellion. In 1920–1930, it was the administrative center of Arsky Kanton. In 1938, it was demoted in status to that of an urban-type settlement. On June 27, 2008, it was granted town status again.[5]
Eastern part of Kazan, that formerly was situated out of the Arsk Gates of Kazan during Khanate's epoch was called Arsk Field. Later, this name spread to cemetery, now situated in Central Kazan.
Administrative and municipal status
Within the framework of administrative divisions, Arsk serves as the administrative center of Arsky District, to which it is directly subordinated.[1] As a municipal division, the town of Arsk, together with five rural localities, is incorporated within Arsky Municipal District as Arsk Urban Settlement.[2]
Transportation
Arsk is a station on the Kazan-Agryz railway.
Demographics
Ethnically, Tatars comprise 83% and Russians—15% of the population, with Mordvins, Mari, Chuvash and Udmurts making up the remaining 2%.
