Fergana, Administrative center in Fergana Valley, Uzbekistan
Fergana is a large city in the southern part of the Fergana Valley within Fergana Region of Uzbekistan. The streets run wide and straight, lined with colonial-era buildings and newer constructions, and the layout feels open and spread out.
The city was founded in 1876 under Russian rule and was first called New Margilan. After a renaming to Skobolev, it eventually took its current name, referring to the surrounding valley.
The city takes its name from the valley it occupies, a region long associated with farming and craft making. Local workshops still produce ceramics, carpets and silk, and visitors often see how traditional techniques are passed down inside working studios.
Summer can become very hot, so spring and autumn suit longer city walks better. The streets are generally easy to walk, and orientation is simple thanks to the regular street grid.
Near the city, the first oil refinery in the region opened in 1908. This site marked the beginning of industrial growth in the eastern part of the country.
