Name based on location on the Rezh River (Tura basin). The etymology of the hydronym is unclear: in the Mangazeya monuments of the 17th century the word dir
- “duct”, but the linguistic affiliation of this word has not been established. There is a version that the word “Rezh” in the language of the ancient Mansi (Finno-Ugric language group) means “rocky shores”. Indeed, there are over 60 large rocks on the Rezh River, thanks to which the river is considered one of the most beautiful in the Urals. In the 1990s, according to Voronov’s directory, the river was among the 100 best rivers in Russia for water travel.
It was founded as a village in 1773 after Savva Yakovlevich Yakovlev received permission from the Berg College to build an iron smelting and ironworks plant in the upper reaches of the Rezh River. At the end of the 18th century, Savva Yakovlev was the largest Russian entrepreneur, and the Rezhevsky plant was his largest brainchild (in total, Savva built 6 factories in the Urals and also bought 16 factories). Production at the plant reached its peak under Savva’s grandson, Alexei Yakovlev (1804-1849). At this time, the quality of Rezhevsky roofing iron was considered standard, which was written about in 1835 in the magazine “Mining Business”, and in 1824, during his stay in Yekaterinburg, Emperor Alexander I himself admired it. Craftsmen from neighboring factories went to the Rezhevsky plant to gain experience districts. In 1878, at the World Industrial Exhibition in Paris, a sheet of Rezhev’s iron was awarded a gold medal, and the master who made it received an expensive caftan from the owner’s shoulder.
Administratively, it was part of the Rezhevskaya volost of the Yekaterinburg district.
At the beginning of the 20th century, a crisis began at the Rezhevsky plant, as well as throughout the Ural metallurgy. In 1911, the Rezhevsky plant closed. The First World War, then the Civil War, and the difficulties of the post-revolutionary period significantly worsened the life of the Rezhelev residents.
On January 16, 1918, the regional Council of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies, by its resolution, declared all enterprises of the "joint-stock company of V. Isetsky Mining and Mechanical Plants (successors of S. Yakovlev)" public property.
The first report of the presence of nickel ores in the Rezha region came in 1924 from engineer F.M. Kondykin, who examined the Golendukhinskoye iron ore deposit.
Since 1930, the geological exploration bureau of the Ufaleysky Nickel Plant began exploration for nickel ores in the Rezha area. As a result of the search, two deposits of oxidized nickel ores are identified: Golendukhinskoye (12 km from Rezh) and Pokrovskoye (6 km from Rezh). The Rezhevsky Nickel Plant became the second enterprise in the young nickel industry in the Soviet Union after the Ufaleysky Plant.
The city is divided into the microdistricts “Seven Winds”, “Gavan”, “Sixth Section”, “Stroygorodok”, “Vokzal”, “Kochnevo”.
The annual celebration of City Day is the first Saturday in July.
On February 1, 1963, Rezh was classified as a city of regional subordination, and the Council of Workers' Deputies of the city was transferred to the subordination of the Sverdlovsk Regional Council of Workers' Deputies[2].

A unique “gem strip of the Urals” runs through the region from north to south, from which, according to Academician Fersman, the mineralogical history of Russia began.
On February 13, 1995, the state natural and mineralogical reserve “Rezhevskoy” was established in Rezh. Its main task is the protection of mineralogical objects - old and new mines (amethysts, topazes, emeralds, opal, tourmalines, etc.). More than 60 mines are under protection. It is also a comprehensive reserve for the protection of game species. The Rezhevskaya nature reserve includes the southern part of the Gemstone Strip of the Urals. Within the reserve there are 3 sections: Lipovsky, Shaitansky and Aduisky.
A mineralogical museum has also been created in the city, which organizes excursions to ancient gem mines, where they learn about the technology of stone mining; in addition, tourists search for collectible stones in the dumps. The Rezhevsky Mineralogical Museum is located in the oldest city mansion, which is almost 200 years old (the factory manager's house or the Lord's house) and which is associated with the name of Tit Zotov. The master's house is distinguished by a rotunda and domed top, rare in the Middle Urals[23].
Among the attractions of Rezh is the Church of John the Baptist, the ancient church of the city, consecrated in 1902. The temple was built in the Russian-Byzantine style. Architect Sergei Kozlov and academician of architecture Julius Dutel took part in the development of the church project. When designing the temple, the “exemplary” design of the great K. A. Ton was used[23]. Among the Rezhev factory managers, the most famous was Tit Zotov, whom the writer Mamin-Sibiryak called one of the first kings of Russian gold, who became one of the first heroes of the gold rush that broke out in the Urals and later swept Siberia and North America. The “Proboyny” spring is a place where in ancient times there were Old Believer hermitages. Monument to Labor and Military Glory, a monument to Rezhevsky craftsmen - the founders of the city. The city also has preserved ancient stone and wooden houses, giving the city a historical look. “Five Brothers” rocks, a city pond with picturesque pine-covered rocky shores and many springs. In the vicinity of the city there is the Rezhevsky Ecopark with an eco-trail along the rocky bank of the Rezh River, viewing platforms from the Rezhevsky rocks, recreational beach areas, and landscape museums in Mironovo and Aramashevo.
