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.
In the beginning of the 20th century in Satka lived up to 10 thousand people. Among them are many alien people. Reached out to work the Old Believers of different sects and persuasions (the Austrians, the Pomorians, precedency, filippovtsy, fedoseevtsy etc.). There were two churches, two schools, post office, Telegraph, hospital, consumer society, two 46 industrial and commercial enterprises.
In 1824 the city was visited by Emperor Alexander I, which has a positive impact on further development of production. By the end of the 19th century, there were two blast furnaces, between the mechanical workshop and foundry in laid track.
The Soviet government inherited a large production. In 1928 Satka became an urban-type settlement, and in 1937 — a city district, and since 1957 — of regional subordination.
