History
[edit | edit source]According to historians, Sokuluk started its existence in the early 1880s, as a place of settlement of many of the Dungan people who moved to the Russian Empire from the Kulja (Yining) area between 1881 and 1883, after Russia agreed to withdraw its troops from Kulja pursuant to the Treaty of Saint Petersburg (1881).[5]
Sokuluk is the birthplace of the Dungan poet, writer, and educator Iasyr Shivaza (1906-1988).
