KHOJENT, or KHOJEND

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 779 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: KHA-KRI
KHOJENT, or KHOJEND , a town of the province of Syr-darya, in Russian Turkestan, on the left bank of the Syr-darya or Jaxartes, 144 M. by rail S.S.E. from
Tashkent
 , in 400 17' N. and 69 30' E., and on the direct road from Bokhara to
Khokand
 . Pop. (1900), 31,881. The Russian quarter lies between the river and the native town. Near the river is the old citadel, on the top of an artificial square mound, about 10o ft. high. The banks of the river are so high as to make its water useless to the town in the absence of pumping gear. Fdrmerly the entire commerce between the khanates of Bokhara and
Khokand
  passed through this town, but since the Russian occupation (1866) much of it has been diverted. Silkworms are reared, and silk and
cotton
  goods are manufactured. A coarse
ware
  is made in imitation of Chinese
porcelain
 . The
district
  immediately around the town is taken up with
cotton
  plantations, fruit gardens and vineyards. The
majority
  of the inhabitants are Tajiks.
Khojent has always been a bone of contention between Khokand and Bokhara. When the amir of Bokhara assisted Khudayar
Khan
  to regain his throne in 1864, he kept possession of Khojent. In 1866 the town was stormed by the Russians; and during their war with Khokand in 1875 it played an important part.
