The history of Perm like many other Uralian cities began with a factory construction. The Perm settlements were first mentioned in the 17th century. The date of births of the Perm city is the 4th of May, 1723, when the foundation stone of a copper-smelting plant was laid near the mouth of the Yagoshikha River that falls into the Kama River. On October 18, 1781 the Perm Viceregency and city were inaugurated. In 1797 Perm became the centre of the province. By that time many merchants came to live here. Perm became the residence of the local officials, a centre for trade and an important river port. The business activity of the negotiants and a deep trade relationship determined a sustainable economic growth of the region, as evidenced by a high fair trade turnover, as well as by appearance of the store chains and representative offices of foreign companies. By the middle of the 19th century Perm assumed more importance as a city situated on the trade roots from European part of Russia to Siberia due to the development of steam navigation on the Kama River. In 1866 passenger transportation was opened. The expansion of steam navigation contributed also to the construction of ship-building yards. In December of 1871 the first Russian phosphate works appeared in Perm, followed by a paper-mill constructed one year later. A timber factory, soap works, tannery, brewery and distillery appeared on the bank of the Kama River. Salt industry was important as well. With the growth of output of mechanical plants and ironworks Perm was becoming a bigger centre of metalworking. In the late 1870s due to the increase in the volume of cargo shipment it was decided to build a Mining railway line (the first one in Ural). Perm gained in importance, being the transport hub, transshipping goods from trains to river ships and vice versa. At the end of the 19th century - the beginning of the 20th century Perm became the ‘transport gates’ not only for Ural, but for the whole Siberia. In the 1930s many plants were built: an aircraft plant, ship-building yards, chemical factory, etc. In the 1950s the Kama hydroelectric power plant, an oil-processing and pulp and paper plants, as well as enterprises of almost all the industries appeared. Nowadays the Perm Region is crossed by two trunk railroads and a number of oil and gas pipelines. The industry of the Ural region in the Kama area is oriented to mining and extraction of mineral raw materials. The nearby regions contribute to the development of economy and constitute a good market for the Perm products. Historical dates: In 1723 the Yagoshikhinsky copper-smelting plant was founded on the place of the present-day Perm. In 1792 the first in Ural printing works appeared in Perm. In 1875 a big hammer (‘Tsar-hammer’) was found in Perm. The design of a giant 50 tons hammer was adjudged the first prize at the International Industrial Exhibition in Vienna in 1873. In 1878 the construction of the provincial railroad began in Perm In 1940 Perm was renamed Molotov. In 17 years it received its former name of Perm.
