Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SUS-TAV
TASHKENT, or TASHKEND , one of the largest and most important cities of Russian Central
Asia
 , and
capital
  of Russian
Turkestan
 , situated in the valley of the Chirchik, some 50 M. above its confluence with the Syr-darya, in 40 20' N., 69 18' E. It is connected by rail with
Krasnovodsk
  (1085 m.) on the Caspian, and since 1905 with Orenburg (1150 M.). The city, formerly enclosed by walls (now ruinous), is surrounded by luxuriant gardens, and its houses are buried among the fruit and other trees which grow alongside of the irrigation canals. The buildings, which are of stone and sun-dried bricks, are mostly low, on account of the earthquakes which frequently disturb the region. The native city in 1871 had 78,130 in-habitants, and in 1897 156,414, mostly Sarts, with Uzbegs, Kirghiz,
Jews
 , Russians and Germans. The Russian city, to the
south
 -
east
 , dating from 1865, has clean, broad streets lined with poplars, and canals, the low asant-looking houses
being surrounded by gardens. In its
population
 , ex-
clusive of the military, was 4860, mo- ussians, and in 1900 about 25,000.
Tashkent
  has a pub library containing a valuable collection of works on Central
Asia
 , an astronomical
observatory
  and a museum.
