History

Blagodat Mountain, by Apollinary Vasnetsov, 1890

Originally a mining settlement founded in 1735 at the Blagodat Mountain to explore its iron ore deposits, it was granted town status in 1926 and was then renamed from Kushvinsky Zavod (Кушвинский Завод) to Kushva.[citation needed] Currently it is stagnant and its population is decreasing as most of the mining industry closed down.

Administrative and municipal status

Within the framework of the administrative divisions, it is, together with the town of Verkhnyaya Tura and twelve rural localities, incorporated as the Town of Kushva[1]—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts.[9] As a municipal division, Kushva and twelve rural localities are incorporated as Kushvinsky Urban Okrug.[4] The town of Verkhnyaya Tura is incorporated separately as Verkhnyaya Tura Urban Okrug.[4]

Honors

A crater on Mars was named in honor of the town.
