About the city

Kogon grew up in 1888 around the Bukhara station of the Trans-Caspian Railway and was called New Bukhara until 1935. It lies on the Bukhara–Karshi road on a plain 220 m above sea level. The region's largest railway station and its only passenger terminal are here, so travellers arriving in Bukhara by train get off in Kogon. Kogon lies inside the remains of the ancient Kampir Devor wall and takes its water from the Hargush canal.

From the Russian imperial era survive the neo-Moorish Emir's Palace built for Abdulahad Khan in 1895–1898, the former Russian political agency building and the Church of St Nicholas. On 1 January 2026 the city had 66,100 residents; historically most of them worked on the railway.
