It is situated on the river [[Artya River|Artya]] at the confluence with the [[Ufa River]], 203&nbsp;km southwest of [[Yekaterinburg]] and 62&nbsp;km southeast of [[Krasnoufimsk]]. Population: 13,790 ([[Russian Census (2002)|2002 Census]]); 15,803 ([[Soviet Census (1989)|1989 Census]]); 13,800 (1968). Males make up 46.7% of the population (6,439), females&mdash;53.3% (7,351). ==History== Arti was founded in 1783 when merchant Lugin built a mechanical plant in the area. During the 19th century the majority of the population was employed by this plant. The plant's products were held in high regard not only in [[Russia]]&mdash;[[scythe]]s produced in Arti, for example, received an award at the [[Paris]] technical exhibition. In 1917, the plant became one of the first to be nationalized. Arti is also known for the first Ural Geophysical Station, which was established there in 1870. In 1918, Arti was a place of an anti-[[Soviet Union|Soviet]] rebellion, during which many people were killed. After the end of the [[Russian Civil War]], Arti remained the only producer of scythes in the whole country. During the [[World War II]], the plant started to manufacture [[sewing machine]]s and [[Sewing needle|needle]]s. ==Modern times== Nowadays Arti is a rapidly developing settlement, where the majority of its economic growth is in the sphere of services. Unemployment rate is rather low (3.02%). Twenty percent of the unemployed are people with higher education as there is practically no vacant positions for them in Arti at the moment.
