Sumgait, Industrial city in eastern Azerbaijan.
The city stretches along the Caspian Sea coast on the Absheron Peninsula, featuring wide boulevards and manufacturing complexes across 83 square kilometers.
Established in 1944 as a suburb of Baku, Sumgait received its city status in 1949 and developed into a major chemical manufacturing center during Soviet times.
Sumgait State University educates thousands of students in various fields, contributing to the educational development of Azerbaijan's industrial workforce.
The city connects to Baku through regular bus services and a railway line, with the journey taking approximately 40 minutes by car along the coastal highway.
The discovery of an ancient caravanserai during construction works revealed artifacts dating back to Medean tribes who inhabited this territory centuries ago.
