In 1735, on the banks of the Yaik River - now the Urals, the Ork fortress was founded, which later became a large industrial city. The second name of Orsk is the city of "Europe and Asia" since it is situated at the junction of two cultures. Administratively the city belongs to the Orenburg region and is the second largest. The population of Orsk now (2018) is 230 thousand people.
Orsk is a city with a developed industry. The most developed petrochemical, machine building, metallurgy and light industries. In the city, the largest enterprises of the region are - "Yuzhnouralnikilkombinat", processing nickel ore, "MK ORMETO - YUMZ" - a giant of heavy engineering, "Orsknefteorgsintez", processing crude oil and others. Most of the city's residents work at these three enterprises. They significantly worsen the ecological condition of the city, aggravating the situation in the city of Novotroitsk, the largest steel plant in Russia, the Ural Steel.
