Jarqoʻrgʻon

Central Asia

Jarqoʻrgʻon, written Джаркурган in Russian, is a city in Surxondaryo Region of Uzbekistan, and the capital of Jarqoʻrgʻon District. Its recorded population was 17,687 in 1989 and 22,700 in 2016, growth of about 28 percent over 27 years. It received town status in 1973. The 12th century Jarkurgan minaret stands in the village of Minor, some 5 km southwest of the town. In the 8th to 12th centuries the place was known as Charmangan, and Arab-Persian geographical literature mentions it under several names; it passed through Arab, Ghaznavid, Seljuk, Ghorid and Khwarazmshah control, and it has been an important agricultural center since ancient times. The Surxondaryo Region is one of the regions into which Uzbekistan is divided. Uzbekistan is a doubly landlocked country in Central Asia, so Jarqoʻrgʻon has no coast.
