history

Downtown

In the place of the present city, a village called Kamassino had been known since the 16th century . A significant upturn took the place in 1874 in connection with the construction of the Urals mine-railroad (Russian Уральская Горнозаводская железная дорога / Uralskaja Gornosawodskaja schelesnaja doroga) Permian Kushva ( Goroblagodatskaja ) -Jekaterinburg, the first Ural crossing a railway track, as here Chusovaya station (named after the river) was built. The line was opened in 1878, followed by the branch to Solikamsk the following year.

In 1879 construction of the Chusovsky Zavod ironworks began. The place was now called Tschussowoje , received the status of urban-type settlement after 1917 and, in 1933, with its current name, city rights.
