Historical ties between the Krasnoyarsk Region, the Republic of Khakassia and the Tyva Republic have been formed for long. Development of the land along the banks of the Yenisey river started several thousand years ago.

In ancient times, the land was inhabited by nomads and many settlements were sited along the Yenisey river. Later the process of joining Siberia to the Russian Empire started. There were different administrative zones within the territory for two centuries. Later, at the beginning of the 19th century, the Yenisey province was formed. The shape of the territory resembled the modern Krasnoyarsk Region. Partially it included the lands of the Republic of Khakassia and the Tyva Republic.

The existing borders were violated, the territories were first united, then fragmented, thus forming new administrative units again at the beginning of the 20th century. However, cultural and social ties of the regions along the Yenisey river were preserved, despite the different territorial allegiance.
