The place and its history
In everyday speech, “the Centre” usually means the central residential area. The wider Central part also includes Porozhsky, Sosnovy, Stenikha and Chekanovsky. Numbered microdistricts inside the Centre form another level of urban geography.
Central urban district was established in 1980. Its main residential site developed with the aluminium smelter, timber complex and reservoir resettlement. Novaya Stenikha is shown separately as an additional local name.
