Ekibastuz (Kazakh: Екібастұз; Russian: Экибастуз) is a town in Pavlodar Province, northeastern Kazakhstan. It has a population of 141,000 (2007 estimate). It is served by Ekibastuz Airport. The history of Ekibastuz begins in the 19th century, when Kosym Pshembayev, a native Kazakh who was commissioned by Russian merchants to look for mineral resources in that region, alighted on a coal field south-east of Pavlodar. He marked the place with two big lumps of salt. This identification gave the place its name: 'Ekibastuz' means 'two lumps of the salt' in Kazakh. The commercial exploitation of the field started soon after. The field afterwards was sold to a British businessman named Urquart. The railway connection was constructed and the village 'Ekibastuz' was established in 1899. The status of the 'town' was given to Ekibastuz on July 12, 1957 by a decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic. At that time the population of Ekibastuz was approximately 25,000 people. Nowadays, the population of Ekibastuz is about 141,000 people ... more on Wikipedia.The text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License; additional terms may apply.
