Myski is best known within Kemerovo Oblast–Kuzbass as a centre of Shor culture. The city stands where the Mras-Su joins the Tom, on the northern edge of Mountain Shoria, a taiga and mountain region long associated with the Shor, one of Siberia’s Indigenous Turkic peoples. River valleys and wooded hills meet a coal-producing region shaped by mining and power generation. The Tom-Usinskaya power station is a major industrial landmark, while Shor traditions give the area a distinct cultural identity. Myski received town status in 1956.
