history

After various administrative units had existed on the territory of the Russian Empire since the 19th century , which were named after their center Akmolinsk (Kazakh Aqmola, today's capital of Kazakhstan Nur-Sultan ), the Akmolinsk Oblast of the Kazakh SSR was established on October 14, 1939 the Soviet Union as the direct forerunner of today's area. After the oblast was briefly dissolved as an independent area on December 26, 1960, it was re-established as Zelinograd Oblast on April 24, 1961 . Their administrative center Akmolinsk had been named Zelinograd shortly before .

After Kazakhstan gained independence, the city of Zelinograd got its old name again in the Kazakh form Aqmola in 1992, and accordingly the administrative area.
