Severouralsk

Severouralsk ( _ru. Североуральск) is a town in Sverdlovsk Oblast, Russia, located on the Vagran River (Ob's basin) at its confluence with the Kolonga River 512 km north of Yekaterinburg. Population: 33,000 (2006 est.); 34,673 (2002 Census); 36,131 (1989 Census). It is served by Severouralsk Airport.

Severouralsk was founded in 1758 due to the construction of a cast iron and copper-smelting factory. In 1931, the Soviets discovered a large deposit of bauxites in the area, followed by discovery of other deposits. Severouralsk was granted town status in 1944 after a number of surrounding settlements had been integrated into it.
