History 🏺
The Sirdarya region during its existence was part of many ancient states, starting with the empire of the Acheminids, the Arab caliphate, the Samanids, the empire of Amir Temur, and up to the Russian Empire and of course modern Uzbekistan. The administrative center of the region is the city of Gulistan, which means “flower land”.
The city itself can be considered new, since it arose along with the construction of the first irrigation canal in 1895 at the site of the settlement of Achchikuduk. At the same time, the first railway was made to the village, which gave a big impetus to its development. After the opening of the canal, the village is renamed to Mirzachul.
Cotton is also beginning to grow here, and thanks to the new channel, it soon becomes the main center for growing "white gold" in the entire region. By 1961, Gulistan became a full-fledged urban settlement. In Soviet times, the city did not differ much from hundreds of similar cities, and only after gaining independence began to acquire its own face. Now in the city there are no ancient monuments of architecture, but modern buildings are attractive because they used features of the ancient cities of Uzbekistan during the construction. Among the interesting places include the House of Nature, Park of Culture, and the Library.
