Sol-Iletsk, Administrative center in Orenburg Oblast, Russia

Located on the right bank of the Ilek River, Sol-Ileck stands 77 kilometers south of Orenburg at an elevation of 125 meters.

The settlement originated as a Cossack outpost in 1754, later transformed into Iletskaya Zashchita fortress, and received its current name in 1945.

The region maintains strong connections to salt production industries, with the name Sol-Ileck directly referencing the mineral in Russian language.

The population fluctuates from 26,000 regular inhabitants to 350,000 visitors during the peak season between July and August each year.

The town contains Black Dolphin Prison, a maximum security facility designated for individuals serving life sentences within the Russian penal system.
