Population on 01-Jan-99 : 197600
-------------------------------
Karshi (Uzbek Qarshi / ?????) is a city in southern Uzbekistan. It is the capital of Qashqadaryo Province and has a population of 197,600 (1999 census estimate). It is about 520 km south-southwest of Tashkent, and about 335 km north of Uzbekistan's border with Afghanistan. It is located at latitude 38? 51' 48N; longitude 65? 47' 52E at an altitude of 374 meters.
Originally the Sogdian city of Nakhshab, and the Arab city of Nasaf, Karshi was the second city of the Emirate of Bukhara. It is in the center of a fertile oasis that produces wheat, cotton, and silk and was a stop on the 11 day caravan route between Balkh and Bukhara. The Chagatai Mongol Khans, Kabak and Kazanby, built palaces here on the site of Genghis Khan's summer pasture. In 1364, Timur also built a fortified palace with moats in what is now the southern part of the city. The modern name "Kashi" means fort.
With the decline of Shakhrisabsz in the 18th century, Karshi grew in importance, and was the seat of the Crown Prince to the Emirate of Bukhara. The city had a double set of walls, 10 caravanserais and 4 madrassahs during this time. By 1868, the Russians had annexed the Zarafshan Valley, and in 1873, the treaty turning Bukhara into a Russian protectorate was signed in Karshi, much to the dismay of the Emir's son, Abdul Malik, who took to the hills in rebellion.
