History

Coat of arms (1865)

It was founded in the 17th century as a Cossack settlement.[citation needed] In the mid-18th century, it was renamed Iletskaya Zashchita (Илецкая защита) due to the construction of fortifications.[citation needed] The name was then changed to Iletsk (Илецк) in the 19th century. In 1945, the town was given its present name.[citation needed] A thick bed of rocksalt is worked near this town[12] (hence, the word "соль" (sol) in the town's name, which means "salt" in Russian). The place has also been known as a balneological resort for its mineral waters, salt, mud, and brine baths, and its kumis cures.[12]

Administrative and municipal status

Within the framework of administrative divisions, Sol-Iletsk serves as the administrative center of Sol-Iletsky District,[4] even though it is not a part of it.[5] As an administrative division, it is incorporated separately as the Town of Sol-Iletsk[1]—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts.[citation needed] As a municipal division, the territories of the Town of Sol-Iletsk and of Sol-Iletsky District are incorporated as Sol-Iletsky Urban Okrug.[7]

Penitentiary facilities

Sol-Iletsk houses what is commonly called the Black Dolphin Prison.[13]
