History

Kök-Janggak originated as a coal-mining settlement in 1910. The upper strata of coal of the Kok-Yangak coal deposit were mined on a small scale until the October Revolution. During the Civil War in Russia the mine was destroyed by basmachi and extraction was suspended. During the first five-year plan new drift mines were developed and an access railroad from Jalal-Abad was built in 1931, resulting in a rapid increase in coal production. In 1943 Kök-Janggak became a town.[4]

gollark: Consider: it is better for a programming language to exist than to not exist. Therefore, the maximally great programming language exists. Macron does not exist. So it is not the maximally great programming language.
