A wooden fort, which appeared in 1618 on the Tom River, became one of the most important supporting posts of the Russian Empire beyond the Urals. Gradually the settlements began to grow around the fortress, and the post of resistance became the town, which since 1622 acquired the name of Kuznetsk.

Also at that time Kuznetsk was awarded the coat of arms with the wolf - symbol of freedom and wastelands. Kuznetsk continued to carry out the functions of fore post – it protected the territory from the invasion of Jungarian and Kyrgyz hordes.

Kuznetsk, a city built manually from wood, with the five towers, became the center of a vast territory. But it has not got significant development until 1930.

New legendary history of the city began along with the building of the railway to Kuznetsk in 1914 and decision to build Kuznetsk (at that time Telbessky) steel works, made by Russian Government in 1927. In 1930 the first blast furnace foundation was made. At the same time the first stone block of flats was carried out according to the design of an outstanding German architect Ernst Mai.

My City

What is it? It`s not easy to answer. And everyone will answer in different ways.

Some of us suppose it is a place, where a lot of people live and work. Others will

say: “The city is a fairytale, where every dream becomes true”. And may be

somebody rudely tells us, that “the city is a prison, which never lets you go

away”.

Really, I don`t know what to say about it. The city can make you happy, it`s true,

but it can take away everything you have.

I like the city, I can not live without it, it`s like a drug, and like an every addict,

I`m afraid of it. It deceives you, you believe it, losing your mind. There are a lot

of amusements, but don`t trust them, because you should remember, that the

“stone jungle” is for beasts… not for us.

An old coat of arms was accepted by the decision of City Council in 1809. It is a heraldic shield divided into two equal parts. In the upper part there is a silver horse with golden eyes in the green background. The lower part is of golden color. A red-white smithy (a furnace and fire is red) with its tools is pictured on it.

A new coat of arms of Novokuznetsk was accepted on the 8th of July in 1970. The author of this variant is an architect Vipov A.B.

It is also a heraldic shield of white color that is meant to symbolize Siberian nature. On it we can see a red blast-furnace and black square which symbolize metal and coal industries of our city. The black square emits rays of lights that show the sun energy contained in coal and given to people.

In upper part there is a graphic design of the walls of ancient Kuznetsk fortress as a memory of great historic past and heritage of the region, the symbol connecting old and new generations.
