Perm (Russian: Пермь, IPA: [pʲɛrmʲ]), previously known as Yagoshikha (Ягошиха) (1723–1781), and Molotov (Мо́лотов) (1940–1957), is the largest city and the administrative centre of Perm Krai, Russia. The city is located on the banks of the Kama River, near the Ural Mountains, covering an area of 799.68 square kilometres (308.76 square miles), with a population of over 1 million residents. Perm is the fourteenth-largest city in Russia, and the fifth-largest city in the Volga Federal District.
In 1723, a copper-smelting works was founded at the village of Yagoshikha. In 1781 the settlement of Yagoshikha became the town of Perm. Perm's position on the navigable Kama River, leading to the Volga, and on the Siberian Route, across the Ural Mountains helped it become an important trade and manufacturing centre. It also lay along the Trans-Siberian Railway.
