Ussolje is the administrative center of the Ussolje Rajon of the same name .

On the northern outskirts of the city, the Kama is crossed by an approximately 800 meter long road bridge.

history

The place was established in 1606 as a settlement near the Nowoje Ussolje salt works ( ussolje is a Russian popular name for facilities for salt production; the name therefore means something like "New Salt Works "). Until the end of the 18th century, the place was the center of the estates of the Stroganov family on the Kama and until the 19th century the center of salt mining in the Ural foothills, which later moved to Berezniki and Solikamsk .

In February 1918 the place became the administrative seat of the Ujesds Solikamsk and thus actually received city rights, in November 1923 also the seat of the Okrug Obere Kama (Verkhne-Kamski okrug) of the Ural Oblast, which existed until 1934 . The administrative seat of the Okrug was moved to Solikamsk in September 1928, and the Okrug was dissolved on July 23, 1930. On March 20, 1932, Ussolje and a few other workers' settlements were incorporated into the newly founded town of Berezniki, which is mostly on the other bank of the Kama. On August 30, 1940, Ussolje became an independent town again. In this context, the place of the same name in Siberia was renamed Usolye-Sibirskoje to avoid confusion . When the Kama reservoir was filled around 1958, part of the city was flooded.
