Astana (us-tuh NUH) is the capital of Kazakhstan. The name of the city is translated from Kazakh as ‘the capital city’. It became capital in September of 1995. The population of the city is 350 thousand people.
Like many cities in Kazakhstan, Astana changed its name several times. In the 1800s it was called Akmola, according to the most popular version it means ‘a white tomb’. The name was given by the Russians who founded a fortress with this name. By 1870s Akmola was a place where merchants from Russia, China and central Asia came to trade cattle and agricultural products. It is worth mentioning that the city is located on the legendary Silk Road.
