Paxtakor, written Пахтакaр in Russian, is a city in Jizzakh Region of Uzbekistan, and the capital of Paxtakor District. Its recorded population was 15,366 in 1989 and 23,900 in 2016, growth of about 56 percent over 27 years. It was granted city status in 1974 and has a cotton-cleaning factory. The name comes from the Persian word pakhta, meaning cotton, and a job-name suffix from the verb kardan, to do or make. The Jizzakh Region is one of the regions into which Uzbekistan is divided. Uzbekistan is a doubly landlocked country in Central Asia, so Paxtakor has no coast.
