History of Fergana region.

The northern part of the Fergana region is occupied by the Karakalpak and Yazyavan steppes,

and is bounded on the south by a tributary of the Olay ridge. Fergana region is a high seismic

zone. The climate is continental, the winters are mild, sometimes very cold. The average

temperature in January is 3.2 C, in July - 28 C. The lowest temperature is 27.9 C. The

maximum temperature is 42 C. Strong "Kokand wind" blowing in the west of the valley has a

negative impact on the climate. In the south-east it blows summer wind. Annual precipitation

ranges from 100 mm in the west (around Kokand) to 170 mm in the east, and up to 270 mm

on the mountain slopes, mainly in the spring. Vegetation period is 210–240 days. The

Syrdarya River flows along the north-western border of the region. Isfara, Sokh, Shohimardon,

Isfayramsay start from the Alay ridge. The rivers are saturated with ice and snow. There are

mainly gray soils and meadow-swamp soils, mostly hungry and typical gray soils on the hills,

alluvial-meadow soils on the terraces of the Syrdarya, sandy and loamy meadows in the

northern part of the region.

Various salt marshes grow in the salt marshes of Central Fergana. In the oases there are

poplar, mulberry, slate, broad-leaved forests and pine forests in the river valleys. Among the

wild animals in the Syrdarya tugai forests live wolves, foxes, wolverines, rabbits, badgers,

---

jays. There are many birds and reptiles. In the water basins there are fish such as marinka,

usach, carp, grass carp, perch.

Fergana region is one of the centers of ancient culture of Uzbekistan. Pictures of Stone Age

settlements and rocks found in the area, stone tools indicate that people have lived in the

valley since ancient times. Excavation of the Greater Fergana Canal has played an important

role in the study of archeological monuments of the region. During the excavation of the

canal, monuments of the Bronze Age, slavery and landownership were found and examined.

Finds from the 5th century BC and early Middle Ages in the city of Kuva are well researched.

Historical sources from the 10th to the 11th centuries state that this city was the largest city

in the valley after Akhsikat in terms of prosperity and size. Archaeological materials prove

that the city of Margilan was a large village in the 10th century and took on the appearance of

a village in the 11th-12th centuries.

The monuments found in the settlements of the Chust culture, which were engaged in

sedentary farming and animal husbandry, are important in the study of the Fergana Valley.

Archaeological excavations show that Fergana region has long been inhabited by people,

engaged in hunting, farming, animal husbandry, and in the later stages of human society,

culture began to develop.

Fergana, which fascinates everyone with its charming nature and unique beauty, has a long

history. The reasons for naming this mysterious place "Fergana" are variously described in

historical sources.

Scholars have noted that the word "Fergana" was written in the early Middle Ages in the

Sogdian script in the forms "Pargana", "Pragana" and in Indo-Sanskrit "small region"; in

Persian it means "valley between mountains", "closed valley". It was called "Dovon" in the 2nd

century BC, and in the early Middle Ages it was called "Bohan", "Bohanna".

The history of Fergana dates back to the III-II millennium BC. From ancient times the

inhabitants of this land have been in close cultural contact with other peoples of the Far East,

South and Central Asia. Examples of this are the relics of the "Andronov culture" (III-II

millennium BC), which are very common in the region, or the amulet "Two-headed snake"

found in Sokh district. The war, labor weapons, household items, and other items of these

periods differ from those found in other parts of Central Asia.

With the opening of the Great Silk Road, the influence of Chinese culture on the lives of the

peoples of Fergana began to be felt. The emergence of bronze windows, coins, silk fabrics,

iron weapons, etc. is directly related to the Great Silk Road. It is precisely because of the

Great Silk Road that in the beginning of our era, information about the breeding of horses,

camels and small animals, the abundance of precious metals, as well as the cultivation of

---

cotton, grapes and cereals spread around the world. The large number of city-fortress

settlements of this period testifies to the development of architecture and urban planning

technology.

In the early Middle Ages, Fergana became one of the bridges between Central Asia and

China, and the socio-political environment here also changed frequently under the influence

of these two regions.

During the reign of the Timurids, national handicrafts, like other industries, developed further.

For example, Margilan specialized in the production of silk and silk products, Rishtan in

ceramics.

In the beginning of the 18th century, representatives of the Ming dynasty united the villages

around the city of Kokand and established a new khanate. Shortly afterwards, the Kokand

Khanate became one of the largest, most powerful, and fastest growing states in Central

Asia.

Fergana, which underwent various turbulent years during the dictatorial regime, finally

discovered true beauty during the period of independence and entered a new stage of

development. In the words of the first President, he received the status of "Fergana - the pearl

of Central Asia." ilt.

The decree of the First President of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated July 1, 2010 "On the

formation of the General Plan of the city of Fergana until 2020" excited all residents of

Fergana. Magnificent buildings, trade and service facilities, 5 parks and alleys, 8 fountains,

bridges and public roads, built in a combination of national and modern art, have been

completed.

Literature  

From the 18th century onwards, science, literature, and art flourished in the Fergana Valley,

particularly in Kokand. The formation of the Kokand khanate and its functioning as a

centralized state allowed the formation of a unique literary environment in the territory of the

khanate. During this period, such literary figures as Huvaydo, Shokhi, Akmal, Nizami, Hoqandi

created.

In the 19th century, the literature known as the "Kokand Literary Environment" flourished in

the region. The organizer of this environment, Kokand khan Muhammad Said Amir Umarkhan

(1787-1822) attracted about 100 artists to the palace and created material and spiritual

conditions for their creativity. The khan himself wrote the "Devoni" of poems under the

pseudonym Amir.

It is known from history that Fergana was the birthplace of great scholars, like Ahmad

Fergani, Burhaniddin Marginoni, poets and poetesses such as Muqimi, Furkat, Nodira, Uvaysi,

and a number of scientists. During the years of independence, the rich spiritual heritage left

by these autors has been completely rediscovered, boosting spiritual and cultural life.

Fergana literature, which is an integral part of Uzbek literature, flourished, especially during

the years of independence. People's poets of Uzbekistan such as Ohunjon Hakimov, Anvar

Obidjon, Ikbol Mirzo, Enakhon Siddikova, M. Ergasheva, Yuldosh Solijonov, Khudoiberdi
