history

Gubacha emerged in the middle of the 18th century as a mining settlement near an iron ore deposit on the river of the same name (also Gubaschka ). In 1825, hard coal was discovered near today's settlement Ugleuralski .

After 1917, one of the first thermal power plants was built here under the GOELRO plan, which still exists today under the name Kiselowskaja GRES-3 , with an attached workers' settlement Krschischanowsk (also Nizhnyaya Gubacha ).

In 1928 Gubacha received urban-type settlement status . In 1936 one of the then largest coking plants in the Soviet Union went into operation.

1941 Krschischanowsk and other settlements were incorporated and the place received city rights. In November 1959 Gubacha was united with the nearby city of Ugleuralsk, which had almost as many inhabitants as Gubacha with 46,408 in the census in January 1959. The city of Gubacha, now with almost 100,000 inhabitants, was dissolved again on April 8, 1960: part of the early Ugleuralsk became an independent urban-type Ugleuralski settlement, and several other localities were spun off.
