Middle Ages [ To edit ]

Talgar’s origins date back to 982, when he was known cone Talkhir . It is located in the mountains of Zhetysu, the limits with the Turkish peoples. The scientists analyzed the name of the settlement and it was concluded that the name had been distorted by a copyist, so it originally sounded like “Talkhir”. However, Talkhir (Talgar) is a well -known name in the modern Kazakhstan. A neighboring city of Almath, its river and the highest peak of Zailiisky Alatau also bear this name. It became evident that the old settlement had placed itself somewhere near. Therefore, archaeological excavations in the southeast of the suburbs of the modern Talgar revealed the mysterious solution.

Thanks to the work of archaeologists I.I. Kopylov, A.KH. Morgulin, K.M. Baipakov, and TV savelyeva the city of Talgar was rebuilt.

In the ninth century a fortress belonging to a Turkish tribe was founded on the place where Talgar is currently. The town was chosen because it was on the Silk route, located in the foothills of Zailiisky Alatau, incorporating rich lands of land and summer pastures there.

Over time Talgar became popular with merchants and artisans. First, the owner of the solution and its cut is served, but later began to produce goods for nomads and surrounding settlements. Such a city development was common in Central Asia at that time.

At the beginning of the 10th century it had become a city. It was a moment of political and economic change in the history of Kazakhstan, since the country has control of the Karakhanid feudal dynasty. The territory of Kazakhstan is divided into several conditions by deputies of Karakhanid. Talgar had developed rapidly in this period and, like other cities of the Valley of the ILI River became the economic and geographical capital of an important territory.
