Karkaraly (Kazakh: Қарқаралы, Qarqaraly) (Russian: Каркаралинск, Karkaralinsk), also known as Karkaralinsk, is the capital of the Karkaraly District in the Karaganda Region of Kazakhstan.[1] Permanent settlement in the area began as a Cossack settlement, which evolved into a Kazakh cultural center due to the Koyandy Fair which took place in the town.[2][3] Its population was 9,212 as of 2009.[4]
