The city lies on the Sverdlovsk - Tyumen railway line, which was opened in 1885 (which became part of the northern route of the Trans-Siberian Railway in 1913 with the continuation of Tyumen to Omsk ).

history

The place was founded in 1668 as Ostrog Kamyshevsky , named after the river Kamyschlowka or Kamyschenka (from the Tatar and Russian word for ledge ) which flows into the Pyschma . From 1687 the place was called Kamyshlovskaya Sloboda . From the 18th century the western section of the Siberian tract ran through the place, which developed into an important trading center, especially for grain, and which remained so until the beginning of the 20th century (see city arms). In 1781 the place received city rights.

When the Kyshtym accident occurred in the Mayak nuclear facility in the fall of 1957 , extensions of the radioactive cloud reached the city.
