The settlement arose as a village at the station, named after the nearby village of Tolmachevo, in 1934 it was renamed Ob, although the Ob River is located 15 km from the city.

In the period from June 22, 1941 to April 1, 1944, the 19th reserve fighter aviation regiment [3] of the 5th reserve aviation brigade was based here, which was engaged in training, retraining and retraining of the flight personnel of combat units of the Red Army Air Force during the fighting during the Great Patriotic War. Patriotic War, training marching regiments and individual crews on LaGG-3, Yak-7b, Yak-9 and Yak-3 aircraft.

Tributaries

The six largest tributaries of the Ob have a length of more than a thousand km:

• The Irtysh is the largest tributary in the whole world, with a length of 4250 km. Its source is lost in the Mongolian Altai. Before meeting Lake Zaisan, on the territory of Kazakhstan, it is called Black Ertys. The Irtysh is recognized as one of the cleanest and least mineralized rivers in the world. In all sections the tributary is suitable for navigation.
• Ket – right bank tributary, with a length of 1610 km. Ket joins the Ob with the help of two branches - Togursky and Narymsky. At the beginning of its movement, the river is called Bolshaya Ket and its beginning is the Ob-Yenisei watershed. After joining Malaya Ket, the river becomes most abundant.

• Konda is a left-bank tributary of the Irtysh, with a length of 1100 km. The river begins from a swamp on the Lyulimvor hill. On the right bank there are floodplain lakes with the purest water.
• Tobol is the most abundant tributary of the Irtysh River, 1581 km. It is formed by Bozbie and Kokpektysai.
• Ishim is the largest tributary on the left bank of the Irtysh, over 2400 km. It originates in central Kazakhstan, and is the only tributary with a continuous flow that brings its waters to the Irtysh.
• Chulym is a tributary on the right side of the Ob, has a length of 1800 km. The source is the junction of the Black and White Iyus rivers. The river serves as a reservoir for industrial and domestic waste, making it very dirty.

On the left bank, Vasyugan stands out, with a length of almost 1000 km. It begins its journey from the Ob-Irtysh watershed, and in some places, due to the high moisture content of the territory, it resembles a swamp.

List of major metropolitan areas located on the banks

In Novosibirsk, which is famous for its museums and architecture, there are defense enterprises, metallurgical companies, and machine-building plants that produce turbogenerators for power plants built in different countries of the world.

Produced here:

• nuclear fuel;
• sheet metal;
• pipes and profiles;
• aviation complexes.

Novosibirsk supplies sights, telescopes, thermal imagers for the Russian army, produces equipment for oil and gas wells, provides the city with stoves for tram crossings, and residents with clean bottled water and food.

Barnaul, which attracts tourists with its green parks, picturesque embankment, and merchant mansions, is significantly behind Novosibirsk in terms of the number of industrial enterprises.

The city's factories produce:

• motors,
• machines,
• railway carriages,
• building materials,
• coke,
• products.

Investments are made in Barnaul:

• in the tourism industry;
• in agriculture;
• city ​​infrastructure.

The development of Surgut, where 330 thousand people live, is associated with the discovery of new oil and gas fields. The city's industry was created around the production and transportation of hydrocarbons.

The thermal power plant built on the Oka uses local fuel and supplies energy to the Ural District. Surgut enterprises process timber and produce building materials and food products for the needs of the city.

Nizhnevartovsk, next to which the Samotlor field is located, from where the Soviet Union extracted a third of all oil , was included in the list of the richest cities in Russia.

In recent years, many new buildings have been erected here, enterprises producing food, instruments, and a fish processing plant have been put into operation, but 80% of the city’s industry is hydrocarbon production.

Salekhard is the only capital of the district and a city that arose on the Arctic Circle . It lags significantly behind Surgut, Nizhnevartovsk, and Barnaul in terms of area, population and development. The former regional village lies among endless tundra, and can be reached by ferry or plane.

Despite the harsh climate, the absence of highways and railways, construction materials, wooden parts, and gold are mined in Salekhard.

Excerpt characterizing Ob (city)

Noticing the unpleasant impression this technique produced on Balashev’s face, Davout raised his head and coldly asked what he needed. Assuming that such a reception could be given to him only because Davout does not know that he is the adjutant general of Emperor Alexander and even his representative before Napoleon, Balashev hastened to announce his rank and appointment. Contrary to his expectations, Davout, after listening to Balashev, became even more severe and rude. - Where is your package? - he said. – Donnez le moi, ije l'enverrai a l'Empereur. [Give it to me, I will send it to the emperor.] Balashev said that he had orders to personally deliver the package to the emperor himself. “The orders of your emperor are carried out in your army, but here,” said Davout, “you must do what you are told.” And as if in order to make the Russian general even more aware of his dependence on brute force, Davout sent the adjutant for the duty officer. Balashev took out the package containing the sovereign’s letter and placed it on the table (a table consisting of a door with torn hinges sticking out, placed on two barrels). Davout took the envelope and read the inscription. “You have absolutely the right to show or not show me respect,” said Balashev. “But let me note that I have the honor to bear the rank of His Majesty’s Adjutant General...” Davout looked at him silently, and some excitement and embarrassment expressed on Balashev’s face apparently gave him pleasure. “You will be given your due,” he said and, putting the envelope in his pocket, he left the barn. A minute later, the Marshal's adjutant, Mr. de Castres, entered and led Balashev into the room prepared for him. Balashev dined that day with the marshal in the same barn, on the same board on barrels. The next day, Davout left early in the morning and, inviting Balashev to his place, impressively told him that he asked him to stay here, move along with the luggage if they had orders to do so, and not talk to anyone except Mister de Castro. After four days of solitude, boredom, a sense of subordination and insignificance, especially palpable after the environment of power in which he had so recently found himself, after several marches along with the marshal’s luggage, with the French troops occupying the entire area, Balashev was brought to Vilna, now occupied by the French , to the same outpost where he left four days ago. The next day, the imperial chamberlain, monsieur de Turenne, came to Balashev and conveyed to him the desire of Emperor Napoleon to honor him with an audience. Four days ago, at the house to which Balashev was taken, there were sentries of the Preobrazhensky Regiment, but now there were two French grenadiers in blue uniforms open on their chests and in shaggy hats, a convoy of hussars and lancers and a brilliant retinue of adjutants, pages and generals waiting to leave Napoleon around a riding horse standing at the porch and his Mameluke Rustav. Napoleon received Balashev in the very house in Vilva from which Alexander sent him. Despite Balashev's habit of court solemnity, the luxury and pomp of Emperor Napoleon's court amazed him. Count Turen led him into a large reception room, where many generals, chamberlains and Polish magnates were waiting, many of whom Balashev had seen at the court of the Russian emperor. Duroc said that Emperor Napoleon would receive the Russian general before his walk. After several minutes of waiting, the chamberlain on duty came out into the large reception room and, bowing politely to Balashev, invited him to follow him. Balashev entered a small reception room, from which there was one door to an office, the very office from which the Russian emperor sent him. Balashev stood there for about two minutes, waiting. Hasty steps were heard outside the door. Both halves of the door quickly opened, the chamberlain who opened it stopped respectfully, waiting, everything became quiet, and other, firm, decisive steps sounded from the office: it was Napoleon. He had just finished his riding toilet. He was wearing a blue uniform, open over a white vest that hung down over his round belly, white leggings that hugged the fat thighs of his short legs, and boots. His short hair had obviously just been combed, but one strand of hair hung down over the middle of his wide forehead. His white, plump neck protruded sharply from behind the black collar of his uniform; he smelled of cologne. On his youthful, plump face with a prominent chin there was an expression of gracious and majestic imperial greeting.
