Aktobe Region, Administrative region in northwestern Kazakhstan
The Aqtöbe region extends across 300,629 square kilometers of diverse terrain, from plains to hills, with the Ilek River flowing through its territory.
The region gained administrative status in 1932, developing from a small Russian fort established in 1869 into a significant territorial division of Kazakhstan.
The region contains multiple ethnic communities maintaining their languages and traditions, with museums and theaters preserving local heritage in the capital city.
The territory benefits from strategic transport connections between Europe and Asia, supporting industrial development in oil extraction and mineral processing.
The ferroalloys plant in the region processes nickel and chromium from the Mughalzhar Hills, making it a central location for metallurgical production.
