history

A fountain in Kopeisk

Kopeisk emerged at the beginning of the 20th century from a few neighboring workers' settlements that had been built in the course of the development of a coal deposit in 1907. On June 20, 1933, Kopeisk received city rights. The name of the place is derived from the word kopi , which literally means "mine" or "deposit".

In 2004, Kopeisk was once again formally a major city , with the number of inhabitants almost doubling through the reintegration of seven neighboring urban-type settlements that were previously subordinate to the city administration but were independent . These outlying districts were spun off from the city proper between 1979 and 1988: Gornjak 1984 (was independent from the 1930s until 1959), Baschowo 1988, Starokamyshinsk 1984, Oktjabrski 1979, Potanino 1988, Schelesnodoroschny 1980 and Wachruschewo 1980. The current city coat of arms dates from 2002.
