Tashkent is located in the north-east section of the republic, in the Chirchik River Valley, at the altitude of 440—480 meters above sea level. East and north-east of Tashkent there are the spurs of the West Tian Shan Mountains.
Tashkent is one of the most ancient cities. Its history is more than 2200 years long. It had different names in various historic periods, such as Yuni, Chach, Shash, and Binkath. The name Tashkent is mentioned for the first time in the 11th century, in the works of encyclopedic scholars Biruni and Mahmud Kashgari.
Tashkent translates as the city of stone or the stone city. The matter of the city name’s origin is still argued about. The most trustworthy is the following version: the city was located at the crossroads of the Great Silk Road; commerce and trades were well developed here, because of which the city thrived and was a much desired prize for many rulers, who tried to conquer it so many times. But the citizens had always put up desperate resistance. The city dwellers’ courage, endurance of character, their true grit are reflected in the city’s name.
Tashkent came into being in a densely populated valley on the border between settled and nomadic tribes as a trading center. Its favourable geographic location accelerated its development as a trading mediator city between the countries of the East and the West, and comfortable weather conditions created good opportunities here for the development of farming and cattle breeding.
