Yurga, Kemerovo region: getting to know the city

History (briefly)

The city was founded at the end of the 19th century. Until 1949 it was considered a village. It arose on the banks of the Tom River. Until 1940, there was no industry in Yurga. At that time it was simply a village near a railway station. Yurga (Kemerovo region) began its history as a city with the construction of a machine-building plant. It began to develop at a rapid pace. And the plant received the proud title of a city-forming enterprise. During the war and post-war years, the first stage of development of the machine-building plant began. So, in 1943, Yurga together with the district were transferred to the Kemerovo region, which had just been formed. Before this, the city was part of the Novosibirsk region.

City development

The machine-building plant developed and improved, and this became the beginning of the urban biography of Yurga. Everything in this city was built according to special projects. According to them, it was planned to make Yurga one of the largest industrial and cultural centers of Siberia. By 1950, the city's population was 22 thousand people. By this time, eight enterprises were already operating here, but the machine-building plant remained the largest and leading. Other institutions were also gradually opened: a hospital, a nursery, a kindergarten, two schools, and a technical school.

In 1949, Yurga (Kemerovo region) received city status. At first it was classified as a settlement under regional subordination. However, in 1953 the status was changed, and Yurga became a city of regional subordination.
