Geography

History


It was founded in 1948, in connection with the beginning of exploitation of the iron deposits at Zheleznaya Gora (Iron Mountain).[citation needed] It was initially named Korshunikha (Коршуниха), after prospector Shestak Korshunov who had discovered the Iron Mountain in the 17th century.[citation needed]

It was granted urban-type settlement status in the 1950s, after a period of growth following the construction of the western section of the Baikal–Amur Mainline, and renamed Zheleznogorsk (Iron Mountain Town). With the completion of a major ore processing plant, town status was granted in 1965 under the present name, the suffix "Ilimsky" added to differentiate from other towns of the same name.[citation needed]
