The site was created in 1889 as the settlement Koedelka at the start of the mining of the largest chrysotile (white) asbestos deposit in Russia: the Bazjenovskogo ore layer, which was discovered in 1885. Kammenaja Koedelka (Koedelkasteen) is the name for asbestos in the vernacular. In 1897 was the first Asbestos enrichment plant in Russia opened. This plant produced about 85% of all asbestos in Russia and 13% of the world. Then came some mines and in 1904 became the first narrow gauge railway to the mines laid. In subsequent years appeared more railway lines and roads. By 1917 there were four companies working in the deposit, which were all subsequently nationalized by the Soviets in 1918. In 1922, the asbestos mines in the regions Bazjenovski, and Nevjanski Rezjevski (and later Alapajevski) united under the state Ural Asbestos. From then began the systematic mining of asbestos from the ore Bazjenovskogo layer. In 1923 the volispolkom (Executive Committee volost) Asbestos transformed into a workers town board under the jurisdiction of the district Belojarski. In 1931 the asbestos industry under the jurisdiction of the People's Commissariat of Heavy Industry on top. On June 10 of that year the workers settlement asbestos as an independent district under the jurisdiction moved from the oblispolkom (implementation committee of the oblastraad of delegates to work) of Oblast Urals and on June 20, 1933 got the status of town under the jurisdiction of the oblast .
In 1936, the town has a railway station. In 1938, 4 Ural asbestos mines and enrichment plants 4. During the war, in 1942, the factory was founded OeralATI where asbestos products are made since then. In 1950 the only Institute for Asbestos Asbestos Industry of the Soviet Union. The asbestos production was further increased after the war in relation to an increased demand by industry. In 1958 the main asbestos producer and Canada surpassed it in 1969, No 6 factory built, the largest asbestos enrichment plant in the world. In 1971 exceeded the population of the city including surrounding areas under the jurisdiction despite the 100,000 inhabitants. In 1997 the city got a new road to the place Belojarski south of it.
The Bazjenovskogo-deposit is the largest asbestos layer of Russia. The asbestos mine (surface) is 11.5 km long and 1.8 km wide, almost 300 meters deep and covers an area where approximately 90 km ². Over 10,000 employees Urals Asbestos mining here has more than 500,000 tons of chrysotile asbestos. [2] Currently Ural Best, consisting of 19 factories and workshops is the largest producer of asbestos in the world and in 2003 was Russia with an annual production of 870,000 tonnes well top the list of Asbestos producers, which was 60% in Russia was deposed. [3] Ural Asbestos is thus one of the fiercest opponents of restrictions on the use of Asbestos, as the law of the European Union, which decreed that any Asbestos banned in 2005 from the EU regarding the risk of several cancer types by people who come into contact with loose particles of the mineral. The asbestos industry is very important to the city, where 10% of the population works and 70% of households have someone working. It is therefore sometimes called an example of a monogorod.
In 2007 the Ural Asbestos in collaboration with the SUAL group started the construction of a large magnesium factory in the city.
Other factories are OeralATI Asbestos, Zaretsjny, Asbostroj, a chicken factory (Asbestovskaja) and a plant for concrete. In asbestos include asbestos, brick, china, furniture, and metal structures produced.
