Geology
The altitude of the city varies from 170 to 380 meters (560 to 1,250 ft). This makes Nizhny Tagil one of the rare natural store-rooms on the Earth.[why?] There are many mineral deposits containing 63 elements of the periodic table.[citation needed]
History
The history of Nizhny Tagil begins with the opening of the Vysokogorsky iron ore quarry in 1696. The deposits were particularly rich, and included lodes of pure magnetic iron. The surrounding landscape provided everything needed for a successful and productive mining and smelting operation — rivers for transport, forests for fuel, and suitable climate.[citation needed]
Over the following decades, the city developed as one of the early centers of Russian industrialization, and it has been a major producer of cast iron and steel.[citation needed]
The first Russian steam locomotive was constructed there in 1833, and the father-and-son engineers who developed it, Yefim and Miron Cherepanovs (Черепанов), were in 1956 commemorated by an 8-meter (26 ft) bronze statue (executed by sculptor A. S. Kondratyev and architect A. V. Sotnikov) which stands in the center of the Theatrical Square in the heart of downtown.[citation needed]
According to some sources, the copper for the skin of the Statue of Liberty was mined and refined in Nizhny Tagil.[10]

The city is divided into three city districts: Leninsky, encompassing the city center and Nizhnetagilsky Pond; Tagilstroyevsky, a comparatively small section at the north part of town; and Dzerzhinsky, a sizable section to the east of the city center principally consisting of apartment buildings and other residences.[citation needed]
