It is located in the Medeu, Almaly and Auezov districts of the city.

The street is named after Kazakh poet Töle Biy.

A gymnasium was located between the current Walikhanov Street and Dostyq Avenue, and until 1927, the street was called Gymnazicheskaya (Russian: Гимназическая; literally Gymnasium) before becoming Komsomolskaya (Russian: Комсомольская).

[1] In the old part of the city, which was formed by the end of the 19th century, Komsomolskaya Street was completely reconstructed during the years of Soviet rule, and starting from the Esentai River it was built up in a western direction.

In 1937, a tram line was laid along the street, which was partly moved during the reconstruction.
