Akhangaran is a well-known industrial district of the Tashkent region. Actually, the Tashkent oasis itself is formed due to the confluence of two rivers Akhangaran and Chirchik. The region has a deep history. Initially, the Tashkent oasis was called Shash-Ilak. Ilak is the ancient name of the valley of the Ahangaran River. In this region, in the area of the Tuyabuguz reservoir (Tashkent Sea), the first agricultural settlements belonging to the Burguluk culture (XI-VII centuries BC) were discovered. In the early Middle Ages, the Ilak Mountains were actively used for mining mountain ores. One of the branches of the Great Silk Road, which led to the ancient cities of the Ferghana Valley (Davan state), also passed through Akhangaran.
The region is famous for its unique natural features: the blue mountain ranges of Ilaka, the crystal lakes of Arashan and the cool sais (ponds) that surround countless Uzbek villages. There are also preserved ancient sites for pilgrimage: Hazrati Ali and Ertoshsoy Jameh mosque.
