Population on 01-Jan-99 : 376600
-------------------------------
Namangan (Russian:????????), is the second-largest city in Uzbekistan (1999 pop. 376,600). It is the capital of Namangan Province, in the northern edge of Fergana Valley of eastern Uzbekistan. Namangan is about 430 km east of Tashkent, about 65 km west of Andijan, and about 75 km north of Fergana. It is located at E_{{{6}}}_{{{7}}} 40?98?N 71?58 E?{{{6}}} 1561 feet (476 meters) above sea level. The Qoradaryo and Naryn rivers join together to form the Syr Darya just outside the southern edge of the city.
Namangan was known to have been a settlement in the 15th century and a part of the khanate of Kokand by the middle of the 18th century.?It takes its name from the local salt mines (namak kan). At the time of the Russian occupation, Namangan was a bastion of Islam, with 20n madrassahs and over 600 mosques. After annexation by the Russians in 1876, cotton production and food processing became the dominant economic activity. Namangan suffered a destructive earthquake in 1926.
Since Uzbekistan independence, Namangan has gained a reputation for Islamic fundamentalism, with many mosques and schools funded by the ultra-conservative Wahabi sect from Saudi Arabia. This has also translated into political opposition against the secular government of Uzbekistan. The majority of the women have discarded traditional colorful scarves for large white veils or even the black paranja.
