After the founding of the ironworks and the Lower Tura Works ( Нижнетуринский завод / Nischneturinski sawod, today Nizhnyaja Tura ) in 1754 and 1766, respectively, the name was changed to Verkackurinsky sawod ( Upper Tura Works ). In 1941 the place received town charter, with the settlement of more important industries further south - around Kuschwa - and north - around Nizhnyaya Tura - however, in contrast to many cities in the Ural region, the importance and number of inhabitants decreased continuously.
