[7][8] The name of the region came from the ancient Tatar settlement of Laish according to the legend from the Nikon Chronicle.

It was made for the protection of the crossing of the Kama River from attacks by the nogais and Mari people.

Subsequently, people from all over the Laishevsky district were drawn to the Laishevo seeking work and the economy of the city began to develop.

The Laishevsky district was incorporated into Pestrechinsky in 1963, but two years later it was reestablished as an independent administrative unit on January 12, 1965.
