Sengiley (Template:Lang-ru) is a town and the administrative center of Sengileyevsky District of Ulyanovsk Oblast, Russia, located on the right bank of Kuybyshev Reservoir 72 kilometers (45 mi) south of Ulyanovsk. Population: 8,396 (2002 Census);[1] 10,366 (1989 Soviet census).[2]
It was founded in 1666 as a defensive military outpost against nomadic raids. Several slobodas later formed around the outpost, and in the beginning of the 18th century the slobodas of Stanichnaya, Butyrskaya, and Vybornaya merged into the village of Pokrovskoye (Покро́вское), named for a Church of the Intercession (Template:Lang-ru). In 1780, it was reorganized into the town of Sengiley, named for its position on the river then of the same name (now Sengileyka, a tributary of the Volga), which comes from Erzya syang 'tributary' and lei 'river.'[3]
In 1925, Sengiley was demoted in status to a rural locality, but it was granted urban-type settlement status in 1925. Town status was granted again in 1943.
