On August 30, 1957, by a resolution of the Presidium of the Supreme Council of the Kazakh SSR, the village of builders SSGOK Rudny was transformed into a city with the preservation of the name - Rudny.

After building the tent city was invited to be called - Semidesyatipalatinsk.
In official documents the name of the village has changed many times.
It is believed that the final name set fourteenth issue of the magazine Ogonyok in 1955. In the published essay was written:
 This city was called Rudny and this is his final title.
It is difficult to tell what is the name of any locality: usually something very characteristic of him; rarely intervenes in case. Our city fell and both. Here's how this relates first chief engineer of the trust «Sokolovrudstroy» B.I.Buresh: «Village, which construction began on the site of the future city, we're the builders, called Ore». And so began to write in all documents. Kombinatovskiye same comrades, too, by themselves, called it «Rudnogorsk», and also refers in their papers. In the first half of 1955, the Director of the enterprise under construction - so called then combine - N.F.Sandrigailo and our Manager of the trust Ya.M.Gimmel'fard about a month and four were in Moscow and Alma-ATA for construction of the plant and the city. For them there were we - chief engineers. Prepare used a common letter in some instance, put the date and address «town of Rudny, Kustanay region»; suffered the signature of the chief engineer SSGOK`s Kandely. Not zacherknet «Rudny Village» and will write his - «Village Rudnogorsk» and always say: «So shall it be more optimistic!»
When a paper prepared Kombinatovcy, trevtovcy зачеркивали Village Rudnogorsk» and wrote «the Village of Ore». The builders of this name seemed more original and significant: for the sake of ore, in fact, started and all this grandiose construction».
It is difficult to say how long did this «war», if not for the arrival on the scene of a special correspondent of the magazine «Ogonek» В.М.Полынина. He visited the quarry of the settlement of geologists Pavlovsky and Komsomolsky, in detail got acquainted with construction SSgOK`s and the beginning of construction of the city, spent a lot of time with the first builders...
Article В.М.Полынина appeared in the fourteenth issue of the «Ogonyok» (1955.) called «new Settlers Ore». It drew a line under the «war» on the choice of the name. In the article there are such words: «The city is not on the map, it is not even registered in the official lists, it has no name, but pioneers of a new Magnitogorsk consider, that the best name for him - the city of Ore!»
So with a light hand Полынина and flew to the construction site letters from all over the Soviet Union, on which stood address - the city of Rudny! When they began to prepare documents for new buildings the status of a working settlement, the dispute is resumed. Just at this time N.F.Sandragailo was summoned to the Director of the Magnitogorsk plant. Already going on the road, he gave last instructions and tips. And suddenly asked: «How did we call the working settlement? Perhaps then will be called and the city!»
But he already gave the name and status of the city - Ore. From across the country are falling letters in our city. Goes, the people have already decided the question what the us over him thinking, " said В.К.Лютиков, one of the first seven employees SSGOK`s, head of the planning Department.
- Well! said N.F.Sandrigailo, Decided, decided so. And we will offer obliskolkomy and the Supreme Council of Kazakhstan». This proposal of the Presidium of the Supreme Council of the Kazakh SSR supported and in August 1956, issued a Decree, which said that referred to the category of working settlements town during the construction of the Sokolov-Sarbai mining and processing plant of Kostanay district, Kostanai oblast, giving it the name «working settlement Ore».
