Fergana Region

The region encompasses a triangular valley bordered by Tien Shan, Gissar, and Alay mountain ranges, covering 22,000 square kilometers of terrain.

The area witnessed multiple conquests, including Arab control in the 8th century, followed by Genghis Khan's invasion and later Timur's rule in medieval times.

The region contains a mix of Uzbek, Tajik, and Kyrgyz populations, with numerous archaeological sites revealing artifacts from the Bronze Age through medieval periods.

Agriculture forms the economic foundation of Fergana Region, with extensive irrigation systems supporting cotton cultivation, fruit orchards, and raw silk production.

The valley floor descends from 1,000 meters to 320 meters near Khujand, creating diverse agricultural zones with fertile oases and sand dunes.
