Alexander Fersman, a well-known academician and geologist, in his treatises described the abundance of mineral deposits near Orsk neighbourhoods and called Orsk-Khalilovo area the "true gem of the Urals."

In June 1931, the Government adopted a decision to start the construction of metallurgic plant based on resources from Khalilovskoye ores and Karaganda coal basin.

In the summer of 1939 the board of the People's Commissariat of Ferrous Metallurgy adopted a resolution, which says: "... to select the Novotroitsk area as a place for Khalilovo metallurgic plant construction...".

During the Soviet period a lot of cultural, sports and recreational institutions were founded including two palaces of culture, several cinemas, schools, colleges, hospitals, public park, two stadiums, swimming pool, consumer service center.

Eight years later the company launched a new cement plant within a few kilometers from Novotroitsk near Akkermanovka village.

According to the Russian Government order, in 2014 Novotroitsk was included into the list of monotowns with the most complex social-economic situation.

[4] After the foundation of the town in 1945 the population of Novotroitsk was increasing due to extensive industrial development.

The center of ferrous metallurgy in the area, the town has a major integrated iron and steel plant that was developed in the 1950s on the basis of nearby iron-ore deposits.

The town's economy largely determines the industry, accounting for 95.8% of total manufactured goods and services.

The largest share in the volume of products shipped by type of activity "Manufacturing" fell on the organization of the metallurgical complex.

The development of the town, its infrastructure is still determined by the state JSC "Ural Steel", which accounts for almost 90% of the total industrial output.

The plant is part of the eight largest steel companies in Russia, and the rating of 200 subsidiaries in terms of sales takes 23rd place.

The list of its products is very extensive; it is the only enterprise in the world that produces natural-casting alloy, chrome-nickel iron ore from its own fields.

In 2016 three hospitals have been incorporated into the one adult multi-functional institution with in-patient, out-patient, emergency and occupational health examination departments.

construction capacity (Youth) The distance between Novotroitsk and the closest airport located near Orsk is approximately 37 km (23 mi).

There are daily direct train service to Moscow with intermediate stops at Orenburg, Samara, Penza, Ryazan and other cities.

Summer seasonal trains are bound for south Russian resorts such as Sochi, Anapa and Kislovodsk.

The first line connected residential area in the centre of town with the by-product-coke department of the metallurgic plant.

During the hard times of the 1990s the metallurgic plant took control of the tram network and the ride was free of charge for all citizens.

The rolling stock consist of 67 tram cars and mostly represented by models manufactured by UKVZ plant (such as 71-605, 71-608, 71-619).

During summer seasons additional buses are bound for dachas and garden plots situated outside the town.

The most notable examples are railway station building, "Metallurg" hotel and Metallurgists Palace of Culture.

The latter was completed on November 3, 1963, though the Nikita Khrushchev's decree "On liquidation of architectural excesses" had been adopted eight years ago.

Pedestrian areas on Lomonosov and Gorkiy streets have not been rehabilitated since the Soviet times and are unsuitable for leisure.

At the beginning of 2010 it was announced about the dissolution of the club due to lack of financing, but the new sponsorship was found very soon and FC Nosta continued playing.
