History

Shirin began in 1943 as a workers’ settlement for the builders of the Farkhad station, where some 5,000 Japanese prisoners of war also laboured between 1945 and 1956. When construction of the Syrdarya power plant began in the early 1970s, thousands of specialists arrived from across the Soviet Union and a modern town took shape, gaining town status in 1972. Its name probably comes from the Shirinqiz stream that flows beneath the Farhad rock west of town.

Today

Shirin is a town of regional status, 52 km from Gulistan and 6 km from Farkhad railway station, at 328 m above sea level. Its life revolves around power: the Farkhad hydro station and Central Asia’s largest power plant, the Syrdarya thermal station, are here. Conditions are tough, with squally winds, sharp temperature swings and saline soil.
