history

Nizhnyaya Tura was built in 1754 as a settlement near the state ironworks of the same name . In 1824 , deposits of gold and platinum were discovered in the surrounding area on the rivers Is , Wyja and Tura , which at times ensured more than half of the extraction of these metals in the Ural region. In the mid-19th century (1852-1862) there was a weapons factory, converted later (1889-1893) in a prison for political prisoners and under the name in Schlüsselburg the Ural became known. The revolutionaries Jakow Sverdlov , Fyodor Sergejew (Artyom) and Ivan Malyshev were exiled to Nizhnyaya Tura .

Despite its earlier relative importance, the place was not granted city rights until 1949, after having had the status of an urban-type settlement since January 11, 1927 .

The name of the city refers to its location on the Tura River; Nizhnyaya means lower , in contrast to the city of Verkhnyaya Tura / Upper Tura .
