History
It was founded in 1660 as the village (selo) of Pyshminskoye, which was named after the Pyshma River.[citation needed] A copper mine opened here in 1856. Town status was granted to it in 1946.[5]
Administrative and municipal status
Within the framework of the administrative divisions, it is, together with the town of Sredneuralsk and twenty-seven rural localities, incorporated as the Town of Verkhnyaya Pyshma[1]—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts.[9] As a municipal division, Verkhnyaya Pyshma and twenty-four rural localities are incorporated as Verkhnyaya Pyshma Urban Okrug.[2] The town of Sredneuralsk, together with three other rural localities, is incorporated separately as Sredneuralsk Urban Okrug.[2]
Coat of arms
The coat of arms of the town is a gryphon holding gold "mirror of Venus". The gryphon is the guard of riches and also the symbol of strength of mind. The "mirror of Venus" is the sign of copper, which is being mined in the region.
Ecology and health issues
In late July 2007, the town was hit by an outburst of atypical pneumonia, with 200 infected and 170 death cases. According to the official information, the infection was caused by Legionella pneumophila virus, which spread through the water supply network. However, there was much speculation that biological warfare (similarly to Sverdlovsk anthrax leak in 1979), or the pollution from chemical industry, is responsible for the infection.[citation needed]
