Fergana in Uzbekistan OUZBEKISTAN uzbekistan. fergana Informations and links Fergana Map Fergana Photos Fergana ------------------------------- Fergana (Uzbek: Farg'ona [???????] or Farghana, Russian: ???????is a city (1999 population: 182,800) and the capital of Fergana Province in eastern Uzbekistan, at the southern edge of the Fergana Valley in southern Central Asia, cutting across the borders of Kyrgyzstan, Tadjikistan, and Uzbekistan. Fergana is about 420 km east of Tashkent, and about 75 km west of Andijan. It is located at latitude 40 23' 36" N , longitude 71 46' 46" E. Fergana was founded in 1876 as a garrison town and colonial appendage to Margelan (13.5 miles to the northwest) by the Russians after they conquered the Khanate of Kokand. It was initially named New Margelan (????? ????????), then renamed Skobelev (????????) in 1910 after the first Russian military governor of Fergana Valley. In 1924, after the Bolshevik reconquest of the region in 1918-1920, the name was changed to Fergana, after the province of which it was the centre [1]. Zoroastrian literature identifies the area as the Zoroastrian homeland. Fergana also played a central role in the history of the Mughal dynasty of South Asia in that Omar Sheikh Mirza, chieftain of Farghana, was the father of Zahiruddin Muhammad Babur (1483-1530), founder of the Mughal dynasty in India. At Mirza's death in 1498, Babur, though still a minor, himself became chief. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.)
Russia conquered Uzbekistan in the late 19th century. Stiff resistance to the Red Army after World War I was eventually suppressed and a socialist republic set up in 1924. During the Soviet era, intensive production of "white gold" (cotton) and grain led to overuse of agrochemicals and the depletion of water supplies, which have left the land poisoned and the Aral Sea and certain rivers half dry. Independent since 1991, the country seeks to gradually lessen its dependence on agriculture while developing its mineral and petroleum reserves. Current concerns include terrorism by Islamic militants, economic stagnation, and the curtailment of human rights and democratization..
