Arti is the administrative center of the Arti Rajons of the same name .
history
The place arose from 1783 in connection with the construction of an ironworks , which was named after the river - possibly derived from the Mansian word for the fish Aland - Artinski sawod . A mill has stood here since the middle of the 18th century. The settlement initially had the same name as the plant that began operations in 1787; later it was shortened to Artinsk and Arti.
From 1809 the factory specialized in the production of scythe blades . In 1811 it became state property. As a result, his products were shown and awarded at the world exhibitions in London in 1851 and Paris in 1876 ; the place grew rapidly, especially in the third quarter of the 19th century.
In 1923 the place became the administrative center of a Rajons, in 1929 it received the status of an urban-type settlement under its current name.
