Korday District

Korday District extends across southeastern Jambyl Region and serves as an administrative zone centered on the town of Korday. The area is defined by its geographic position and the landscape that surrounds it.

The area was reorganized administratively in 1939 when it was transferred from Alma-Ata Okrug to the newly established Jambyl Region. This restructuring shaped how the district is organized today.

The district is home to Kazakh, Dungan, and other ethnic communities who live alongside each other while maintaining their own traditions. You can see this diversity reflected in daily life and in the distinct neighborhoods that shape the area.

The Korday-Almaty Highway is the main transportation route through the district, connecting important cities and facilitating the movement of goods. It is essential for regional travel and commerce.

The district contains a border crossing point between Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan that plays a key role in international trade and regional connections. This crossing point makes the area an important hub for cross-border movement and commerce.
