History
The emergence of the town in 1841 is connected with the mastering of the Gremyachinsky coal deposit. In 1942 when coal mining started the mining settlements on the territory of the deposit and station settlement Baskaya were united to form the settlement of urban-type Gremyachinsky and in 1949 the settlement was transformed to town. In those years a significant part of the town and its surroundings was made up of the recently released GULAG prisoners and "special settlers" (mostly German prisoners of war).
The further life of the town was connected with coal mining, Gremyachinsk shared the fate of other towns of decaying Kizelovsky coalfield. During the war years, the acute need for coal and the use of cheap labour made the development of the Gremyachinsky deposit profitable. Since the 1960s, coal production in the Kizelovsky basin became unprofitable and started to decrease. In the 1970s, the automobile parts plant and several other enterprises were built to keep the town busy which slowed the flow of population out of the town. With the closure of the last mines in the 1990s, Gremyachinsk became a village near a gas compressor station.
