Naryn is the administrative center of Naryn Region in central Kyrgyzstan, on both banks of the Naryn River where it cuts a gorge through the town. It was established in 1868 as a fortress by Konstantin Petrovich von Kaufmann, the first Governor-General of Russian Turkestan, on a caravan route linking Kashgar and the Zhetysu region. Its population was 41,988 in 2023, the ninth largest in Kyrgyzstan. Naryn is the main transport link from Kyrgyzstan to China via the Torugart Pass, and its economy rests on animal husbandry and the University of Central Asia's Naryn campus, founded in 2000.
