Koson is a city and the administrative center of Koson District in the Kashkadarya Region of Uzbekistan. It lies in a historical region known as Sogdiana, which was part of the ancient Silk Road trade route, and the city had a population of 59,300 residents as of 2005. It was granted city status in 1972, having been a village before that. A castle dating back to the 4th and 5th centuries, surrounded by defensive walls, stands in the city, and most of the remaining historical structures date from the 15th to the 16th centuries. The permanent population began residing in Koson after the decline of the ancient city of Yerkurgan. Uzbekistan is a doubly landlocked country in Central Asia, so Koson has no coast.
