Historical background
The name recalls Lake Balkhash in Kazakhstan, but the town's place in Bactria points rather to Balkh, ancient Bactra. Bactra was the capital of Bactria, the seat of a Persian satrap and, after Alexander, of the Greco-Bactrian kings; later it belonged to the Kushan Empire. The identification remains uncertain.
