history
The place was founded in 1925 in connection with the construction of the Achinsk - Abakan railway line and the subsequent development of tungsten , copper and molybdenum ore deposits in the area. After the peak in the 1950s, ore mining gradually declined and was completely discontinued in the 1990s; as a result, the ore enrichment factory was also closed. From 1945 to 2008 Tuim had urban-type settlement status .
