The village of Gulyaevo is located in the northeastern part of the district, not far from the border with the Tobolsk province, at a distance of 308 versts from Yekaterinburg and 67 versts from Irbit. It stretches along the high right bank of the Nitsa River, at a height of 8-10 fathoms above its level, 30 versts from the confluence of the Nitsa with the Tura. From the mountain of the village, picturesque views open up to the lowlands extending towards Turinsk; to the right, the rich villages of Bobrovskoye and Krasnoslobodskoye can be seen. During the high water of the Nitsa, the view is enlivened by steamers operating between Irbit and Tyumen. The opposite left bank of the Nitsa is low-lying and covered with small willows, bird cherries, and currant bushes. In spring, the Nitsa floods it, promoting the growth of meadow grasses. This allows for the harvesting of a large amount of quality hay, which is profitably sold at the Irbit fair. The climate here is moderate and favorable for health. The soil is black earth in some places and clayey in others. The population of the parish is exclusively Russian and Orthodox. According to church documents, in 1900, the parish had 1,329 men and 1,314 women. The main occupation of the parishioners is agriculture; some, mainly the youth, go to work in factories for sawmilling and firewood cutting.

Gulyaevo is one of the oldest settlements in this area. It was likely founded around the same time as neighboring settlements along the Nitsa River: Krasnoslobodskaya, Verkh-Nitsinskaya, Chubarovskaya, and others, which allows its origin to be dated to the mid-17th century.

It is documented that in the early 18th century, the village, along with the mentioned settlements, was part of a separate Krasnoslobodsky district of the Siberian province, the administration of which was centered in Krasnaya Sloboda.

The name of the village comes from the surname of the first inhabitants. The Gulyaevs still live in the village, although this surname is now rare here. The parish also includes 4 villages: Kislova, Verkhnyaya and Nizhnyaya Ilenki, and Zarechnaya.

The wooden church in honor of the Transfiguration of the Lord was built in Gulyaevo long before 1739, as it fell into disrepair and collapsed that year. The local clergy and elder appealed to the diocesan authorities for permission to build a new wooden church in honor of the Transfiguration of the Lord with a Prokopyevsky chapel. In the same year, the Tobolsk Bishop issued a decree to Krasnoslobodsky Protopope Ilya Ivanov to build a new church in a suitable location.

On October 10, 1739, the wooden Transfiguration Church with a Prokopyevsky chapel was laid, and the consecration took place only in 1745. After about 45 years, this church also fell into disrepair. In 1791, local priest Grigory Toporkov informed the Irbit Spiritual Administration that the Gulyaevo church had become very dilapidated and was impossible to serve in during winter, while in summer the roof leaked. As a result, a decree was issued by Tobolsk Bishop Varlaam to Irbit Archpriest Lev Karpinsky to build a new stone church in Gulyaevo, and to dismantle the old one and use the usable wood for the new construction.

First, the Prokopyevsky chapel was built and consecrated on November 26, 1797. The construction of the main Transfiguration temple was delayed, and its consecration took place only around 1810.

In 1889, the third chapel in honor of Saint Demetrius of Thessalonica was completed and consecrated.

The parish has two chapels: one stone and one wooden.

The churches own two wooden houses with outbuildings and wooden shops, bringing in up to 250 rubles in annual income. The parish has schools: a church-parish school and a zemstvo school in the village itself.
