==History== The earliest surviving recorded mention of Solikamsk, initially as "Usolye-na-Kamskom" () dates from 1430, in connection with the discovery and exploitation by miners and merchants, probably from Vologda, of massive salt deposits on the banks of the Usolka River. The name of the town is derived from the Russian words "" (sol, meaning "salt") and "" (Kama River, flowing through the town).
