During the reign of Kasym Khan, the territories of the Kazakh Khanate expanded considerably.
•
The Kazakh Khanate was founded in 1456-1465 by Janybek Khan and Kerey Khan, on the banks of Jetysu ("seven rivers") in the southeastern part of the present-day Republic of Kazakhstan.
•
Unfortunately the already weakened Kazakhs were once again faced with defeat at Sayram and soon lost many major cities to the Dzungars.
•
Although both Janybek Khan and Kerey Khan were considered the founding rulers of the Kazakh Khanate, it was Kerei Khan who initially wielded the most power.

The territory of what is now Sherbakulsky District was a part of the Kazakh Khanate until 1718, when, after the death of Tauke Khan, the khanate broke apart and Cossack units moving south from Russia occupied the area.
