The Chernoistochinsky iron and steel plant is located on the Black River, near Lake Black, from which this river flows. The plant is situated 170 versts northwest of Yekaterinburg and 20 versts southwest of the station "Nizhny Tagil" on the Perm-Tyumen railway. Since 1895, it has been connected by a narrow-gauge railway to the main plant of the district, Nizhny Tagil, but this road is used exclusively for factory needs.

The plant is located at the eastern slope of the Ural Mountains, in a hilly and wooded area dominated by coniferous forests: pine, larch, spruce, and fir. Near the plant, there is a pond-lake of significant depth and circumference. The soil is mainly clayey and sandy, but in the meadows, it is black soil, allowing for grain cultivation with yields of up to 20 quintals per hectare. The area is considered one of the most favorable in terms of hygiene, with clean and healthy air.

8 versts northeast of the plant is Mount Dyrovatik, 15 versts southwest is Mount Belaya, 60 fathoms high, and 14 versts away is Mount Kuzina. In the basin of the Black River, which flows into the Tagil, there are platinum placers with three mines. The plant got its name from the Black spring of the river, flowing from Lake Black and into the Tagil.

The Chernoistochinsky plant was founded in 1726. The first inhabitants of the plant were predominantly Old Believers, and their numerical superiority persisted until the end of the first quarter of the 19th century. In 1833, there were only 233 Orthodox Christians living at the plant. Due to the small number of Orthodox Christians, a separate parish could not be formed here until the beginning of the second quarter of the 19th century. Orthodox residents attended the clergy of the Nizhny Tagil or Visimo-Utkinsky plants.

In 1833, the Demidov landowners resettled serfs from the Tula and Chernigov provinces to the Chernoistochinsky plant: 691 men and 719 women. These settlers, settled in the plant and the villages of Bobrovka, Yelizavetinskaya, Anatolskaya, and Pavlovskaya (Shaytanka), formed the Orthodox parish.

The Orthodox parish of the Chernoistochinsky plant was established in 1833 when a wooden church was built. Until 1839, the parish included Orthodox residents of the plant and villages. In 1839, the villages of Pavlovskaya and Shaytanka were annexed to the parish of the Resurrection Church due to communication difficulties. In 1893, the village of Bobrovka, renamed Yelizavetinskoye, was transferred to the parish of the Nizhny Tagil Entrance to Jerusalem Church.

The residents of the plant are Russian. Most are employed at the plants, some work in the platinum mines, engage in crafts and trade. In 1900, the parish of the Peter and Paul Church had 785 men and 917 women Orthodox Christians, as well as 356 men and 346 women Old Believers.

The original wooden church was built in 1833-1834 but burned down in 1854 due to a faulty altar stove. A temporary church was consecrated in 1856. The stone church, laid in 1856, was built with funds from the Demidovs and consecrated in 1862. It has one altar and has not undergone reconstructions. The iconostasis is three-tiered, decorated with gilded carvings. There are no chapels in the parish, but a procession is held on August 6.

The clergy of the church consists of one priest, a deacon, and a psalmist. There is no church-parish guardianship. The parish has a church-parish school, opened in 1897. There is also the Chernoistochinsk zemstvo school, opened in 1872.
