[6] The Tetyushsky district is located in the southwestern part of Tatarstan, on the right bank of the Kuybyshev Reservoir which is commonly known as the Volga Upland.

In the center of the coat of arms are silver stripes that symbolize the geographical position of the region (on the right bank of the Volga river).

The red color of the coat of arms reflects courage, strength, labor, beauty, while silver represents purity, perfection, peace, mutual understanding.

The city was founded after the siege of Kazan in 1552 after a fortification was formed on the right bank of the river with the aim of protecting the region.

[12] During that period, even though Tetyushi had the administrative status of a city, the everyday lifestyle of its citizens instead resembled rural modes of life.

[16] For the first half of 2020, investment in fixed assets in the Tetyushsky district amounted to about 0.5 million rubles from budgetary funds, or 0.3% of the total contribution to the municipal budget.

[17] Due to the lack of large industrial complexes in the region, the Tetyushsky District traditionally occupies one of the last places in the rankings of socio-economic development.

[20][21] Many industrial complexes that operated in the district during the Soviet times were forced to close down as a result of the financial crisis in the 1990s.

[3] The main investment attraction strategy aims for the development of agriculture in the district which is the leading branch of the region's economy.

The territory used as a farmland constitutes 96.7 thousand hectares on which more than 40 agricultural enterprises operate, the largest of which are "Stelz Agro-T", "Kolos" and "Nur".

[23] The Bua station is a large railway junction 35 km from Tetyushi which is linked to the city by road.

Since the 19th century, treasures containing such rare archaeological finds as 13.4 thousand Golden Horde coins, Bulgarian and Golden Horde items, a gold ring with the inscription "Sultan Mahmudan", gold discs of the Sultan and others have been repeatedly found in the region.
