Koksaek (kaz. Koksuyek, until 1994 - Georgievka) - a village located in the Tolebi district of the Turkestan region of Kazakhstan. The administrative center of the Koksaeksky rural district.
History
The village of Georgievka was founded in the 1890s along with the Church of the Great Martyr George the Victorious erected in 1896. In 1945-1956 Georgievka was the center of the Georgievsky district [1]. In 1994, the name of the village was renamed to Koksaek.
Etymology
Many residents and historians associate the old name of the village Georgievka with the Church of the Great Martyr George the Victorious, which was built in the village at the expense of parishioners. There is also another version that the descendants of the first settlers of the village claim that there was a land surveyor Georgy, who honestly measured the land to the settlers. And as a gratitude, residents named the village after him [2].
Geography
The village is located 40 kilometers away from the city of Shymkent. Further Georgievka, there is the Kaskasu gorge with the famous to many tourists and travelers mountain resort is located. The Sairam-su river of glacial origin flows through the whole village, which originates on the northern slope of the Ugam ridge in the mountain system of the Western Tien Shan.
Demographics
According to the population of 2019 year, more than 13,000 people live in the village. The majority of the population consists of Kazakhs, Russians and Uzbeks nations.
Sightseeing[3]
The main attraction of the village is the famous Temple of the Great Martyr George the Victorious located on the main street of the village. The Moscow architect Wilhelm Solomonovich created the project of the temple in 1996 [4]. He gained wide popularity thanks to his life-giving source, which is located in the immediate vicinity of the church. They say that water from the spring can cure many ailments: infertility, skin diseases and even paralysis. In general, the dense population of immigrants from the Russian provinces during the time of the Russian Empire influenced the culture and construction of the village.
Climate
The climate in the village is continental, characteristic to the entire South Kazakhstan. Winter is moderately warm - cooling down to –15°С; and summers are hot and long with an average temperature of 27°C. From the point of view of climate, the village is located in a very nice territory - the foothill strip is very well irrigated by the nearby Sairam-su river. Vegetable gardens are grown on the fertile territory and pastures are located on high meadows. During heavy precipitation in the form of rain in the mountains, the water level in the Sairam-su river rises, which subsequently floods nearby buildings.
