Travel guide around Kokshetau and nearby
The town was founded in 1824 as a fortress, named after the Kokshetau hill it was built on; the name is Kazakh for "greenish mountain". In 1868 it became a regional center. During the late 1930s, as a result of the political repressions against Polish and German citizens, many residents of other republics of the Soviet Union were forcibly settled in this region, and Kokshetau became the center of the Polish diaspora in Kazakhstan. On March 16, 1944, the Kokshetau Oblast was created, with Kokshetau as its administrative center. Kokshetau has one airport with flights to Almaty and Petropavlovsk. The city is connected by railroad with southern Kazakhstan and Russia. The population of Kokshetau is 150000 people.
