Satka (Russian: Са́тка) is a town and the administrative center of Satkinsky District in Chelyabinsk Oblast, Russia, located on the western slope of the Southern Ural Mountains on the bank of the Satka River, 190 kilometers (120 mi) from Chelyabinsk, the administrative center of the oblast. Population: 45,178 (2010 Census);[3] 49,686 (2002 Census);[6] 50,664 (1989 Census).[7]

History

It was founded on November 19, 1758 as an iron mining factory. Magnesite, a mineral essential to the manufacture of refractory brick used in blast furnaces, was discovered there.

Administrative and municipal status

Within the framework of administrative divisions, Satka serves as the administrative center of Satkinsky District.[1] As an administrative division, it is, together with ten rural localities, incorporated within Satkinsky District as the Town of Satka.[1] As a municipal division, the Town of Satka is incorporated within Satkinsky Municipal District as Satkinskoye Urban Settlement.[1]

Economy

The major industry in the town is the extraction of magnesite and other ores along with metallurgical plants to process the ore.

There is a small tourist industry because of the town's location in the center of the Ural Mountains near Zyuratkul National Park. There is also a nearby historic site at Porogi where the first hydro-electric generator in Russia was installed.

Transportation

Although there is a railway station in Satka, it is a spur line so connections are inconvenient.

Education

In addition to secondary schools, there is a satellite campus of the Chelyabinsk State University.
