Tokmok (Kyrgyz: Токмок, lit. 'hammer'; Russian: Токмак, romanized: Tokmak)[3] is a city in the Chüy Valley, northern Kyrgyzstan, east of the country's capital of Bishkek, with a population of 71,443 in 2021.[2] Its elevation is 816 m above sea level. From 2003 to 2006, it was the administrative seat of Chüy Region.[4][5] Just to the north is the river Chu and the border with Kazakhstan.
Tokmok was established as a northern military outpost of the Khanate of Kokand c. 1830. Thirty years later, it fell to the Russians who demolished the fort. The modern town was founded in 1864 by Major-General Mikhail Chernyayev.
Tokmok is a district-level city of regional significance within Chüy Region. Although the city is surrounded by the region's Chüy District, it is not a part of it. Its total area is 41 km2 (16 sq mi).[6]
