Earlier the territory was called as East Turkestan which was won by Tsinn Kitaya's ruling dynasty in 1759 that was a reason for numerous revolts of the Uighur people against Chinese-Manchurian gains. The most great national-liberation movement of the Uyghur - "Dungan" - Kazakhs was in 1864-1867. As a result of this movement in the territory of East Turkestan a number of the states were formed: Lettishar, Ili Sultanate, Dungan Khanate.

In 1881 according to the Petersburg contract between Russia and China the Ili edge was transferred to China, and a part of the territory where there lived the Uyghur, departed Russia. According to this contract inhabitants of Ili edge could move on the territory of Russia. A part of the Uyghur - about 100 thousand people expressed desire to lodge in Semirechye. Here the Uyghur formed the city of Zharkent, created about 90 settlements in True. The main part of the Uyghur moved in the Ili valley in 1881-1883.
