History and economy

Founded in 1628 as a Russian fort, it was transferred to its current location in 1636 and granted town status in 1782.[citation needed] The town is a center of the Kansk-Achinsk lignite basin, which in the early 1980s was developed into one of the largest coal areas of the Soviet Union. It also has cotton, timber, hydrolysis, and food industries.[citation needed]

Administrative and municipal status

Within the framework of administrative divisions, Kansk serves as the administrative center of Kansky District, even though it is not a part of it.[1] As an administrative division, it is incorporated separately as the krai town of Kansk—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts.[1] As a municipal division, the krai town of Kansk is incorporated as Kansk Urban Okrug.[4]

Miscellaneous

The town is home to the Kansk air base and it is crossed by the Trans-Siberian Railway.[citation needed]
