Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NEW-NUM
NUKHA , a town of
Russian
  Caucasia, in the government of Elizavetpol, and previous to 1819 the
capital
  of the khanate of Sheki, lying 57 in. N.E. of the town of Elizavetopol, at the S. foot of the main
chain
  of the Caucasus. Pop. (1861) 22,618; (1897) 24,811; mainly

 , with some Armenians. The cupola of the
church
  in the fortress is 2455 ft. above the sea-level, in 410 12' 18" N. and 470 12' 7" E. The fortress, a square enclosure, erected in 1765, contains the palace, built in 1790 in the
original
  Persian style. The leading industry is the breeding of silkworms and the spinning of
silk
 . Nukha was a mere

century
 , when it was chosen by Hajji Chelyabi, the founder of the khanate of Sheki, as his residence. The
Russian
  occupation
dates
  from 1807, though the annexation was not completed till 1819.
