The secret of the origin of the name
Historians suggest that the name of the city - Aramil - comes from the Turkic language. There are several variations of his translations:
• "aram", which means "sorrow";
• "il", meaning "homeland";
• “areme” – translated as “a place overgrown with small bushes by the river.”
And they also tell a sad legend about a missing beauty. It says that for a long time the grieving father unsuccessfully called for his disappeared daughter Aramil, but she never returned. The girl, according to different interpretations of the legend, could drown, was kidnapped or lost in the thicket of the forest. And the search site was named after her.
Locals believe thattheir city is called by a woman's name. And they say "in Aramili". It is this unique feature that distinguishes it from the rest, because you can find sparsely populated places whose names are feminine. The rest of the guests of the town say "in Aramil." In official circles, they also tend to masculine interpretation of the name.

History of the city

In the summer of 1674, the southern fortification post of the Russian state was erected on the border with Bashkiria - Aramilskaya Sloboda. By 1707, it included more than twenty settlements. It was here that factories were built that laid the foundation for the formation of such cities as Kamensk-Uralsky, Berezovsky, Yekaterinburg, Sysert and others.
During the civil revolution, the city was captured by the Whites. The industry went into decline. When the Soviets came to power, the revival of the city began.

Holy Trinity Church and cloth factory
Before the Holy Trinity Church was built, there were two churches on the Aramil lands, but both were destroyed. In 1784, at the very end of April, the foundation was laid for the construction of a wooden church in honor of the Holy Trinity. It was consecrated by Bishop Varlaam in June 1790. The foundations of the modern stone temple were laid out in 1830, and only in 1842 the main temple of the churchwas consecrated. The left aisle was consecrated in honor of the Nativity of the Most Holy Theotokos, and the right aisle in honor of Elijah the Prophet.
Over time, the staff of the church and the number of parishioners increased, but in 1937 the temple was closed, and the bell tower was destroyed. Only at the end of the 20th century the temple was reconstructed and returned to believers. In 2007, the bell tower was rebuilt with a dozen bells, the largest of which weighs more than three tons.
The cloth factory in Aramil was built on the site of a mill. Initially, she was engaged in the production of copper utensils and other utensils.
