Xonobod

Xonobod is a district-level city in Andijan Region of Uzbekistan. From 1972 to 1991 it was named Sovetabad, and its Russian name is written Ханабад, romanized Khanabad. The city covers an area of about 20 square kilometres and had roughly 44,000 inhabitants in 2020, which gives it a dense urban population for its small size. It lies to the east of Andijan, in the Ferghana Valley, on the right bank of the Kara Darya river. Because it is a district-level city it is administered as its own unit within Andijan Region rather than as part of a surrounding rural district.
