history

After the establishment of the Vernoye fortress , the local authorities decided to found several Cossack villages around Vernoye in order to strengthen the eastern borders of the Russian Empire . The place was founded in 1858 as Stanitsa Sofijskaja (станица Софийская). It developed quickly, which was due to the favorable climatic conditions for agriculture. The residents grew different types of grain. In 1871 there were already 3256 people in the village. In the following years, the first industrial companies were founded, including two distilleries and a sawmill. Founded in 1886 by the Russian businessman Nikita Jakowlewitsch Pugassow, the distillery is now one of the country's oldest food companies. The same businessman also founded a tannery, which was later nationalized and, as a large textile manufacturer, became a major employer in the city. In 1908 the Nikolaus Church was built.

In April 1918 the resistance of the White Guard against the establishment of communist rule by the Bolsheviks organized itself . Only a month later this was suppressed by the Red Army and the village was renamed Murayevo (Мураево) in honor of the leader; Talghar has had its current name since 1919. In 1934, Talghar became the location of an agricultural school that was moved here from nearby Alma-Ata. In 1937 a regional nursing school was opened. In 1954 the school was converted into the Talghar Medical School. On December 22, 1959 Talghar was granted city rights.
