Astana - the capital of the Republic of Kazakhstan - situated in the basin Ishim.In 1830 there was established a military stronghold Akmola.In 1832, was officially opened Akmolinskiy District, which became in 1845 the village of Akmola.Decision of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in May 1862 Akmola village was granted city status.Location of the city at the crossroads of trade routes between China, Russia and Central Asia has allowed Akmolinsk a commercial center not only for Kazakhstan but also in southern Siberia.
Trade has increased the number of inhabitants and the city itself.The first 30 years the city`s population was more than two thousand people.Over the next 30 years, the city`s population has tripled.
