Cities and districts of the Chelyabinsk region

The Chelyabinsk Region is part of the Ural Federal District.

The Chelyabinsk region is located on the border of two parts of the world - Europe and Asia. Two sections of the conditional border "Europe-Asia" pass through the territory of the region: mountainous - about 150 km on the Ural-tau and the Ural ridge and water - about 220 km along the Ural River. The region covers an area of 88.5 thousand square kilometers and extends from south to north for 490 km, from west to east - for 400 km. The total length of the region's borders is 2750 km. In the north, the Chelyabinsk region borders on Sverdlovsk (border length - 260 km), in the east - on Kurgan (border length - 410 km), in the south - on Orenburg (border length - 200 km), in the west - on the Republic of Bashkortostan (border length - 1150 km). The southeastern part of the border with Kazakhstan (730 km) is the state border of the Russian Federation.

The population of the Chelyabinsk region as of 01.01.2008 is 3511.0 thousand people. 2857.7 thousand people live in the cities of the region, which is 81.4% of the total population, in rural areas - 653.3 thousand people.

The administrative center is the city of Chelyabinsk, with a population of 1092.5 thousand people, located at a distance of 1919 km from Moscow. The administrative formation of the territory of the region began in the eighteenth century. In September 1736, on the right bank of the Miass River, Colonel A.I. Tevkelev founded the Chelyabinsk fortress. In 1737, the Iset province was formed, and since 1743, Chelyabinsk became the center of the province. In March 1744, the Orenburg Governorate was formed, which included the Iset and Ufa provinces. After the abolition of the Iset province in 1782, part of its territory became part of the Orenburg province, part - Ufa. Chelyabinsk, Verkhneuralsk (1781) and Troitsk (1784) became the first cities on the territory of the present region.

Since 1781, Chelyabinsk was given the status of a city and a coat of arms was approved: a loaded camel in the lower part of the provincial shield.

In 1919, the Chelyabinsk Governorate was created without the Zlatoust uyezd (which was annexed in 1923). In 1924, the Chelyabinsk province was liquidated, the Chelyabinsk, Zlatoust, Troitsk, Verkhneuralsk districts, which are part of the Ural region, were created on its territory. In 1934, the Ural region was disaggregated, as a result of which the Chelyabinsk region was formed. Subsequently, the area of the region repeatedly decreased. So, in the period from 1938 to 1943, 7 districts were transferred from the Chelyabinsk region to the Sverdlovsk region. After the transfer in 1943 to the newly formed Kurgan region of 32 districts, the borders of the Chelyabinsk region practically did not change.

The Chelyabinsk Region was formed on January 17, 1934; the Chelyabinsk Region has existed within its present borders since February 6, 1943.

The structure of the modern Chelyabinsk region includes 317 municipalities, incl. 16 urban districts, 27 municipal districts, 27 urban settlements and 247 rural settlements. In addition, the cities of Chelyabinsk and Magnitogorsk include 10 city districts. The youngest settlements officially recognized as cities - Ozersk, Snezhinsk, Trekhgorny and Lokomotivny - until 2006 had the status of closed administrative-territorial entities.

In the history of the formation of the territory of the Chelyabinsk region, there is a precedent, unique for the world practice, for resolving territorial disputes. So the village of Ogneuporny with a population of about 800 people and the nearby territory of 520 hectares was administratively assigned to the Chesmensky district. In turn, the territory of Kazakhstan has grown into a proportionate piece of South Ural arable land. This is the rarest border dispute in the history of world states, or rather a way to resolve it.

Large cities: Magnitogorsk - 409.0 thousand people, Zlatoust - 191.2 thousand people, Miass - 166.9 thousand people, Kopeysk - 139.4 thousand people.

Until the end of the 19th century, Chelyabinsk was a small town. The second birth of Chelyabinsk took place in 1892 thanks to Emperor Alexander III. It was associated with the completion of the construction of the Samara-Zlatoust railway, which connected Chelyabinsk with the European part of the Russian Empire.
From September 3, 1919, the city of Chelyabinsk became the center of the independent Chelyabinsk province, created by decision of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee, transformed on November 3, 1924 into the Chelyabinsk district of the Ural region. On January 17, 1934, the city of Chelyabinsk became the regional center of the Chelyabinsk region.
