History
According to the Brockhaus and Efron Encyclopedic Dictionary, in 19th century the local residents were reported to be mainly engaged in agriculture, fishing, herding, hunting and gathering liquorice root.[2]
The town was the place of death of Vasily Chapayev, the Red Army commander of the Russian Civil War (1919). A museum was established in his memory in 1927, which has received the National Monument of Kazakhstan status.
The earlier settlement was named Ilbishin (Ulbishin, Kazakh: Ілбішін) or Lbishchensk (Russian: Лбищенск) since the 20th century and in 1899 the town had 3400 people (2100 of which were Cossacks), 2 churches, 2 schools, and mail and telegraph connections. It was renamed Chapaevo in 1939 and Chapaev in 1992.
In 1997 the town became the capital of Akzhaik District.
