Tekeli (Kazakh: Текелі, Tekelı) is a city in the Almaty region of Kazakhstan, located 310 km from Almaty city and 40 km from Taldykorgan city. At the beginning of 2019, the population of the city was 31,958. Determination and further development of Tekeli started in the 1920s when Dzhungar Survey Expedition revealed rich mineral deposits near the future town location. In 1927 there began a more structured search for deposits of minerals in the Dzungarian Alatau Mountains. In 1933 a deposit of polimetals such as lead, zinc, silver, cadmium and germanium was discovered. In 1939 construction of the Tekeli Lead-Zinc Factory began. Concurrently, development of a settlement was started for the miners which would become the future town of Tekeli. The development and life of the city depended on the "Lead-Zinc industrial complex", which was one of the largest in the USSR. During the Second World War, this deposit gave the country lead for every eighth bullet. Later, in the post-war period, Tekeli began to grow, the construction of residential buildings was declared a shock construction site, and a stream of volunteers arrived from all over the Soviet Union. Homes and industrial facilities were built not only by visiting builders, but also by Japanese prisoners of the Second World War. In 1952, Tekeli was granted city status and was incorporated on January 29, 1952, by the decree of the Kazakh Soviet Republic Presidium. More information...
