Sirdaryo Region

Sirdaryo Region extends across 4,276 square kilometers of land on the left bank of the Syr Darya River, featuring desert landscapes and agricultural fields.

The region emerged as an administrative territory in February 1963 during the period of the Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic, remaining part of it until 1991.

The population of 860,900 residents maintains traditional practices of cotton cultivation, animal breeding, and the production of the regional Mirzachul melons.
