history

A settlement on the site of today's city was established in 1810 and was named after the river (derived from the Turkic words for black willow ).

During the First World War , the construction of the Chelyabinsk – Orsk railway through the town began. When construction was interrupted as a result of the turmoil of the Russian Revolution in 1917 , Kartaly became the provisional terminus of the route. The line was completed by 1930 and Kartaly was also the starting point of the branch line to the new metallurgical combine in Magnitogorsk, 100 kilometers to the west . In 1933 the place received the status of an urban-type settlement . Its importance as a railway junction continued to grow with the construction of the line towards Kazakhstan from the end of the 1930s ( opened to Akmolinsk in 1943 ), so that the place was granted city rights on April 17, 1944.

Poltawka

The settlement was founded in the 1830s on the north-western bank of the Karataly-Ayat as post No. 6 of the Orenburg Cossack Army in the Nowolineiny rajon ("New Line"). In 1843, in memory of the Battle of Poltava (June 27, 1709, Great Northern War ) , the military post was named Poltawskaja ( Полтавская ) in 1820 , later shortened to Poltawka ( Полтавка ).

In 1939 the settlement was incorporated into Kartaly.
