Apparently, the city's name is derived from the Russian translation of "Chrysostom", literally "golden-mouthed" in the original Greek, for the eloquent SaintJohn Chrysostom,[5] because the city was founded near a church dedicated to that saint. In other languages the city is sometimes calledЫзлататыс(Izlataltıs)[6] orЗылатаус[7] (Zılataus) inTatar andЗалатауыс[8] inBashkir.
Zlatoust was founded in 1754 due to the construction of theironworks.[9] In 1774–76, the workers of the plant took part in theinsurrection led byYemelyan Pugachev. In the early 19th century, Pavel Anosov made the first Russianbulat steel blades in Zlatoust. It was granted town status in 1865. From 1865 to 1919 Zlatoust was part ofUfa Governorate. The town is also known for the firstcannons made of Russiansteel. In 1903, the Tsarist authorities brutally suppressed astrike, organized by the workers of Zlatoust.
In 1815, an arms factory was built here, which began to producesabres andswords.[10] To establish production, more than a hundred experts were invited from renowned arms centers in Europe, includingSolingen andKlingenthal (Germany). In summer 1816, the first batch of Zlatoust blades was sent toSaint-Petersburg, both combat weapons and decorated samples.[10] Famous artists Ivan Bushuyev and Ivan Boyarshinov authored unique patterns of cold-steel decorated withengravings. Bushuyev's and Boyarshinov's swords are very rare; under 2 dozen are believed to exist today, all in Russian state museums and wealthy Russians' collections (rare published example). The flying winged horse was a favorite element of many of Bushuyev's engravings, so he was given a nickname Ivan the Wingy (Ivanko Krylatko). Since then, apegasus has been an emblem of the town. In the 1840s the engraving was shifted onto decorative metal plates. This idea was suggested by Zlatoust factory's director -Pavel Petrovich Anosov, who was taking care of factory's profit and decided to expand the product range. Since then Zlatoust engraving on household items and tableware became popular.[11] TheSoviets gained control over Zlatoust in March 1918. The town was occupied by theWhites between June 1918 and July 1919. On 13 July 1919, Zlatoust was seized by theRed Army.
During the Soviet period, Zlatoust became an industrial city, which specialized inmetallurgy,mechanical engineering, tool-making, food production, and other industries. Zlatoust is one of the centers of artisticengraving on metal in Russia. Traditionally, such engravings were done on weapons, such asknives, swords and tableware. Zlatoust engraving on metal received an impulse to a new development, when in the 1960s young graduates of art Zlatoust schools started to work at the factory and reveal their talents.
