== History == The settlements in Tashkent district, Syr-Darya region, Turkestan province of the Russian Empire were founded at the end of the 19th century in Keles river valley between hilly terrain, several ravines, partly cultivated for cotton and wheat, partly deserted due to lack of irrigation water. The settlements were named after Konstantin Petrovich von Kaufmann, the first Governor-General of Russian Turkestan. The Syr-Darya region had 47 villages with 16,000 settlers from the Russian Empire.
