History[ | ]

In 1950, an iron ore deposit was discovered on the territory of the Mikhailovsky district of the Kursk region, confined to the Kursk magnetic anomaly. On August 3, 1957, the Council of Ministers of the USSR adopted a resolution on the construction of a mine in this place. To service the quarry under construction, construction began on a workers' settlement for 10 thousand inhabitants. The site chosen for the construction of the village was a large buckwheat field to the west of the village of Chernyakovo[5].

The founding date of Zheleznogorsk is considered to be October 2, 1957 - on this day the construction of houses began on what is now Oktyabrskaya Street. By November 7, the first 2 two-apartment residential buildings were put into operation. At first, the working settlement was called Oktyabrsky

. On June 24, 1958, by decision of the Kursk Regional Council of Workers' Deputies, the village of Oktyabrsky was renamed Zheleznogorsk.

On September 7, 1959, the Zheleznogorsk secondary school, the future Gymnasium No. 1, opened[6].

On September 28, 1961, the village of Chernyakovo, the villages of Ermolaevsky and Chernyakovsky Gorki of the Razvetyevsky village council were included in the boundaries of the working village of Zheleznogorsk [7]. On May 28, 1962, the village was given the status of a city; at that time, 16.5 thousand people lived in it. On January 12, 1965, the Zheleznogorsk district was formed with its center in the city of Zheleznogorsk.

By 1970, more than 30 thousand people lived in the city, and there were 5 schools.

In 2008, the villages of Alekseevsky, Platonovsky, Khutorskoy, the villages of Trubicheno and Panino, and the village of Luzhki, which were previously part of the urban district of Zheleznogorsk, were annexed to the city. In 2015, these settlements received the status of city microdistricts[8].

In 2022, the city's population exceeded 100 thousand people.

Architecture and housing stock of Zheleznogorsk

On the map of Zheleznogorsk with houses you can find a wide variety of housing stock. In total, there are about 500 houses of different years of construction in the city. Most of them (32%) are houses that appeared in the 70s of the last century. The earliest buildings were erected in the 50s.

In the second decade of the 21st century, several dozen modern houses with comfortable apartments were built in the city. These include panel and prefabricated frame multi-apartment residential buildings,

main feature

When designing the city, engineers tried to preserve the natural beauty of the taiga as much as possible. Therefore, the old and new quarters of Zheleznogorsk are designed in such a way that there is greenery everywhere. There are no frequent buildings here, as in other cities; if you look at the streets from the neighboring island, it seems that the houses are adjacent to the taiga.

In addition, next to residential areas on a hill there are ski slopes of different heights and distances. The city was designed by Leningrad engineers, and the park was originally planned without a lake. But local residents, on their own initiative, cleared the floodplain under the reservoir and built dams. Now there is a park with ancient trees and the pearl of Zheleznogorsk - a beautiful and clean pond.

Economy and industry of Zheleznogorsk

A satellite map of Zheleznogorsk shows several gardening partnerships, an industrial zone and a quarry of the Mikhailovsky Mining and Processing Plant on the territory of the city. The latter has the status of a city-forming enterprise. Every third resident works there, and the local budget is 70% generated from the company’s tax revenues.

In addition, there is a brick and car repair plant, as well as a clothing factory. Also in the city there are about 700 small and medium-sized businesses.

Because of this, FC Magnit refused to participate in third division matches.
