Namangan, Administrative center in Fergana Valley, Uzbekistan

Located 450 meters above sea level, Namangan extends across 145 square kilometers at the northern edge of the Fergana Valley near Kyrgyzstan border.

The settlement originated from salt mines in the 15th century, with its name deriving from Persian 'namak kan', and received migrants from Aksikent after earthquakes.

The city maintains six public universities and five private institutions, contributing to the educational development of eastern Uzbekistan's population.

The regional transportation network includes the Fergana circular railway, facilitating connections between Namangan and neighboring commercial centers in the valley.

Namangan's industrial sector processes cotton from local agriculture, supporting numerous small enterprises that form the foundation of the regional economy.
