History edit
Founded around 1979, it was known as Ufa-105 (Уфа́-105) and Beloretsk-16 (Белоре́цк-16).[citation needed] Town status was granted to it in 1995, at which time it was given its present name.[citation needed] It is the only closed town in Russia to be situated in a republic.
Administrative and municipal status edit
Within the framework of administrative divisions, it is incorporated as the closed administrative-territorial formation of Mezhgorye—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts.[3] As a municipal division, the closed administrative-territorial formation of Mezhgorye is incorporated as Mezhgorye Urban Okrug.[4]
The closed status of Mezhgorye means that in administrative terms it is subordinated directly to the federal government of Russia. The town comprises two microdistricts (former settlements), located 23 kilometers (14 mi) apart: Tatly (Татлы) and Solnechny (Со́лнечный) (formerly called Kuzyelga (Кузъелга)).
