centre of tsarist and Soviet rule, the town of Fergana has grown into the
valley's third-largest city, with a population of 220,000-230,000. In fact,
Fergana is the valley’s least ancient and least Uzbek city. Founded in 1876, 20
kilometres from the ancient town of Margilan, it was christened New Margilan,
then in 1907 became Skobelov, after the first military governor, and in 1924
assumed the valley's name.
The main
building of the new city became a military fortress, which occupied a large
area. New streets were laid from it in a semicircle. The huge park was lid out
in the city center. The first architectural sights of the city were the
Governor's House (now the building of the drama theater), House of Governor Assistant,
the Military Assembly (House of Officers). In 1907 the town was renamed
Skobelev, and in 1924 called Ferghana.
Fergana's wide
avenues spread fan-like from the old military fortress, recalling the St
Petersburg design of Tashkent. Tree-lined avenues and pastel-plastered tsarist
buildings indeed give Fergana the feel of a mini-Tashkent. Parks, fountains,
Russian architecture and industrial zones strengthen the similarity, and the
contrast, with Uzbek, Islamic Margilan.
A marked
increase in the city began only in the twentieth century and especially after
the independence of the republic. Fergana is now an important industrial center
in Uzbekistan. Over the past few years in the city there are many modern
facilities - luxurious high-rise hotels, a beautiful tennis court, indoor urban
market, a stadium, a large park with flower beds and fountains. Symbolically,
that among the first constructions built during the independence, in 1992 the
city gate was built, called "Gate of Independence." It has the height
of 14 meters, 26 meters in length.
Fergana is
perhaps the best and the most obvious base from which to explore the rest of
the Fergana valley. It has a central location, a good choice of accommodation
and decent services. It’s a nice enough place to hang out, and somewhat
cosmopolitan with its relatively high proportion of Russian and Korean
citizens.
