history

In 1868 the nomad winter camp Taldyqorghan was officially upgraded to the settlement of Gawrilowka (Гавриловка). There were Russian settlers under. In 1920 the settlement was renamed Taldyqorghan again. When in the 1940s, during the Second World War , the production facilities were relocated from the part of the Soviet Union west of the Urals to the east, this region began to flourish. In 1944 the settlement was granted city rights and at the same time became the center of the new Taldy-Kurgan Oblast , which existed first until 1959 and then from 1967 to 1991 within the Kazakh SSR and until 1997 within the framework of independent Kazakhstan. During and after the collapse of the Soviet Union , in the late 1980s and early 1990s, stagnation set in, as everywhere in Kazakhstan . The collapse of all businesses left many people with no reason to stay in Taldyqorghan. In the early 1990s, for example, the city experienced a sharp decline in population. Many young people moved to Almaty or emigrated abroad. The Taldyqorghan Oblast was dissolved and became the Almaty Oblast . In 2001, President Nazarbayev made the city the capital of the area, which led to major renovations in the city. New office buildings, shops, restaurants, a hotel were built and many roads were newly paved. As a result, another 20,000 people moved to the city within 1.5 years.
