Chelyabinsk was founded on the Miass River in September 1736 as the fortress on the route from the Trans-Ural (Zauralye) Region to Orenburg. It was the center of the large Isetsk Province and untill 1781 it was a military settlement. In 1781 Chelyabinsk gained the status of a city, and in 1934 it became the center of the Chelyabinsk Region. For more than 100 years Chelyabinsk was small and undistinguished city. The construction of the Samara-Zlatoust railway line and its opening to traffic from Moscow to Chelyabinsk in 1892 put the city on the map. In few years it became one of Russia's largest trading centers. In 1896 another railway line to Ekaterinburg was opened to traffic. Chelyabinsk became an important intermediate point of population movement, a sort of the ‘gateway of Siberia’. Today Chelyabinsk is the biggest cultural and scientific center of the Southern Ural and one of the main industrial Russian centers. City's factories produce about a fifth part of all large-diameter pipes fabricated in Russia, the third of ferroalloy and mill products, more than 60 per cent of stainless steal and about 40 per cent of road-building machinery. Furthermore Chelyabinsk is a big transport junction on the railway line Moscow-Samara-Irkutsk-Vladivostok. The city is connected by highways with Kazakhstan, the Central Ural, Bashkiria and Siberia. Historical dates: In 1736 Chelyabinsk was founded. In 1781 Chelyabinsk gained the status of a city. In 1891 the construction of the Samara-Zlatoust railway is completed.
