==History== Founded in 1770 as a Cossack village, it has been known as the stanitsa of Yemanzhelinskaya () since 1866. It became a coal mining settlement in 1930–1931, which was granted town status on September 25, 1951. It was one of the places closest to the hypocenter of the blast from the 2013 Russian meteor event.
