Originally a coal mining town, population decline was steepest in the 1970s following the closure of coal mines in the area.[1] The construction of residential complexes in subsequent years led to a gradual increase in population.[1] As of 2003, the town had an estimated population of 7,043 and a density of 424.28 persons per km2. The total area was 16.60 km2.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
