Within the framework of administrative divisions, Nurlatsky District is one of the forty-three in the republic.[2] The town of Nurlat serves as its administrative center, despite being incorporated separately as a town of republic significance[2]—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts.[7]

The district is a flat country, 100–150 m above sea level. Rivers flowing through the district include the Bolshoy Cheremshan, its tributary the Zur Solcha, and the Kondurcha.

The soils of the district are primarily leached, typical and podzolized chernozems, taupe forest soils, meadow-chernozem. More than 35% of the district is covered with forests, and timber industry is developed as a result. Deposits of oil, natural gas, peat, and bentonite are also common. Industry is mostly concentrated in Nurlat.

In 2002, agricultural holding numbered 1,211 square kilometers (468 sq mi), including 915 square kilometers (353 sq mi) of tilled lands. Wheat, winter rye, oats, millets, peas, sugar beets, potatoes are cultivated in winter and spring. Dairy-and-meat livestock, sheep, and pigs are bred.

Transportation

The Ulyanovsk–Ufa railway and the Chistopol–Nurlat autoroute cross the district.
