History edit
Aksy District was established in 1936 as Tash-Kömür District. In 1943, when Tash-Kömür was given city status, the district was renamed Jangy-Jol District, and the administrative seat was moved to the village Jangy-Jol. It absorbed the Kerben District in 1958 (seat moved to Kerben), and Ala-Buka and Chatkal Districts in 1963. Ala-Buka and Chatkal Districts were re-established in 1969. In 1991 Jangy-Jol District was renamed into Aksy District.[4]
