Wahdat ( Tajik Ваҳдат / Wahdat ; Russian Вахдат / Wachdat ; until 1936 Jangi-Bosor , until 1992 Ordschonikidseabad , until 2003 Kofarnihon ) is a city in Tajikistan , about 20 km east of the capital Dushanbe , with 45,693 inhabitants (as of January 2009).
location
The city lies on both sides of the Kofarnihon , which arises from the two source rivers ( Sardai-Mijona and Sorbo ) about 50 km northeast of the city . In the north of the city the river Simigantsch flows into the Kofarnihon, in the south Ilyak , which flows further west outside the city into the Kofarnihon. Wahdat is placed at the exit of the Romit Valley, where there are numerous recreational areas and sanatoriums.
history
Wahdat was founded on September 17, 1927 and was then called Jangi Bosor ( Tajik Янги-бозор , which means "New Market"). The city served as an additional market for the large market in Dushanbe, which was held every Monday ( Dushanbe means “Monday” in Tajik). On April 3, 1936, Ordzhonikidze was renamed after the Soviet politician Grigory and carried the name Ordzhonikidseabad (Tajik Орҷоникидзеобод) until December 25, 1991. The city was renamed Kofarnihon ( Tajik Кофарниҳон) , which means "refuge" for the infidel after the river of the same name . After the end of the civil war , the city was renamed for the last time on April 7, 2003 and has since been called Wahdat ( Tajik Ваҳдат , means "unity").
City structure
On December 25, 1991, the city and the surrounding villages and communes were united in an administrative unit. Since then, Wahdat has consisted of ten Jamoats ( Tajik ҷамоат , "village council") called districts: Abdulwosijew, Chujangaron, Simigantsch, Guliston, Romit, Dusti, Ismoilow, Chorssu, Bahor and Burunov. The municipalities of Rohati, Jakkatol and Kipchok also belong directly to the city.
