Kokand ( ) is a city in Fergana Region in eastern Uzbekistan, at the southwestern edge of the Fergana Valley. Administratively, Kokand is a district-level city, that includes the urban-type settlement Muqimiy. The population of Kokand was approximately 259,700. The city lies southeast of Tashkent, west of Andijan, and west of Fergana. It is nicknamed "City of Winds".
In 1877, when the first ethnographic works were done under the new imperial Russian administration, Kokand was reported and visually depicted on their maps as Tajik inhabited oasis (C.E de Ujfalvy ("Carte Ethnographique du Ferghanah, 1877"). The city, along with most of the eastern Fergana Valley, was included in the Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic in the 1920s as part of national delimitation in the Soviet Union.
