History

It was founded in 1856 and developed on the strength of iron ore deposits; the extraction industry is still important to the local economy. The metallurgical plant was in operation until 1926. The settlement serving the plant was known as Abaza, an abbreviation of Abakan and Zavod (plant).[2] The extraction work of iron ore is carried out at a mine 5 km from the city. Iron ore is sent to Novokuznetsk metallurgical enterprises. Abaza was granted urban-type settlement status in 1957 and town status in 1966.[2]

Since 1995, the Abakan mining group has been operating as a division of the OJSC "West-Siberian metallurgical plant».

It was included in the list of single-industry cities of the Russian Federation by order No1398-r of the Government "On approval of the list of single-industry towns" dated July 7, 2014.[10]

Administrative and municipal status

Within the framework of administrative divisions, it is incorporated as the Town of Abaza—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts.[1] As a municipal division, the Town of Abaza is incorporated as Abaza Urban Okrug.[5]

Sport

Some bandy is played in Abaza.

gollark: Not enough disk.
gollark: VPSes always tend to be overly CPU-heavy in my experience.
gollark: It has 4GB of RAM, so I have to economize a bit.
gollark: Although I am in the somewhat odd position of my server being worse than my niceish laptop performancewise.
gollark: If its main advantage is that you can run your own server and it can magically run a room as a distributed thing on all of them, you should be able to actually run a server.
