History

The name of the city might come from the Khanty words sur 'fish' and gut 'hole, pit'. It was founded in 1594 by order of Tsar Feodor I. For many centuries it was a fortress and center of Russian development in Siberia.

It became a major center of oil and gas production in the 1960s. This made the population of the city go up.

Surgut is home to the Surgut Bridge. This bridge is the longest one-tower cable-stayed bridge in the world.

Economy

Surgut is the largest port on the Ob River. It is also the largest roadway/railway junction in northwest Siberia. It has two of the world's most powerful power plants, the SDPP-1 (State District Power Plant 1) and SDPP-2 (State District Power Plant 2). These power plants make over 7,200 megawatts and give the region cheap electricity.

Surgut is also important in the oil and natural gas industries.
