History

Konibodom, city, northern Tajikistan, in the western Fergana Valley. The Konibodom oasis was best known for almonds, from which its name, Place of Almonds, is derived. The city dates back at least to the 15th century. Its economy is based on the processing of local agricultural products—cotton, silk, and fruit, particularly apricots. The Bolshoy (Great) Fergana Canal flows along the city’s southern outskirts. There is a teacher-training institute and a music and drama theatre. Pop. (2007 est.) 47,100.
