The article discusses about the main stages of the historical development of Ural regions through the prism of toponymy dates. The article was prepared as part of a joint research project «Research of historical toponymy of some regions of the West Kazakhstan» of L.N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University and Zhangir Khan West Kazakhstan Agrarian-Technical University. In 2019, the team of authors conducted research on the historical toponyms of the Baiterek, Burly, Terekty districts of West Kazakhstan region. The toponymy of area is a kind of primitive knowledge of the surrounding nature, geography, which closely related to the way of economic life. Studying of the toponyms of the region, coupled with historical and ethnographic sources, contributes to understand many past events. In this research authors used field studies conducted in the territories of these regions in 2019, published materials from previous years, written sources of the pre-revolutionary period, and oral history materials
