Jurja is the administrative center of the Rajons Jurjanski and seat and only town of the municipality Jurjanskoje gorodskoje posselenije.

history

The place arose from 1898, when a station named after the river was built there during the construction of the Perm  - Vyatka  - Kotlas railway . The name comes from Komi Syrian ( jur stands for "head (end)").

In 1958 the place received the status of an urban-type settlement. On January 12, 1965 Jurja became the administrative seat of a newly created Rajons named after him.

On July 14, 1992, the secret military settlement with the camouflage name Jurja-2 , which was built from 1959 to the north, was spun off as an independent settlement (from 1994 under the name Pervomaiski ).
