History
Alatyr is one of the oldest towns in the republic. It was founded in 1552, succeeding the outpost of Kurmysh, which had served as the easternmost Russian outpost for two centuries. Alatyr originally served as a fortified outpost where an old Mordvin village once stood, and it was granted town status in 1780. Alatyr gained economic importance in 1894 after the construction of the Moscow—Ryazan—Kazan railroad.
