The Satkinskii iron smelting and iron making plant was built in 1758 on r. Satka by Baron A.S. Stroganov. In 1769 the plant was sold to a Tula merchant L. Luginin. However, in 1799 it was transferred to state property, and its management was carried out by the State assignation bank. In 1801, again, it was sold to a Moscow merchant Knauff. In 1811, the Satkinskii plant became state property once more, and was included in the Zlatoust mining district.
