Kanash, Railway junction town in Chuvash Republic, Russia

Located 76 kilometers from Cheboksary, Kanash stands at an elevation of 190 meters and functions as a central transportation hub in the region.

The settlement, initially named Shikhrany, emerged in 1891 following the completion of the Moscow-Kazan railway line and received town status in 1925.

The educational development of Kanash started with the establishment of a primary school in 1912, followed by a middle school in 1914.

The railway junction connects multiple regional lines, making Kanash an essential transit point for passengers traveling through the Chuvash Republic.

The town experienced industrial growth with the construction of its first power station in 1929, which supplied electricity to the railway station and surrounding villages.
