Angren (Uzbek: Angren/Ангрен; Tajik: Ангрен) is a district-level city in Tashkent Region, eastern Uzbekistan. The city is located on the Angren River 70 mi (110 km) to the east of Tashkent. The City of Angren was created in 1946 from the villages of Jigariston, Jartepa, Teshiktosh, and Qoʻyxona which had emerged in

the rich Angren coal basin during World War II. It has an area of 150 km2 (58 sq mi) and the population of the city is 191,300 (2021). There were several large coal mines and factories in Angren during Soviet times. Following the collapse of the USSR, the majority of these factories were abandoned. A lack of professionals and machinery, mismanagement, and falling income levels — all contributed to this downfall. While Angren was once an important industrial center, the collapse caused it to turn into a ghost town for a while. However, in the recent days, Angren has developed and still is developing. Still, Angren has retained some of its industrial importance. The city is home to a once considerable and still functioning coal mining industry. It also has a large construction-materials industry, a rubber processing plant, and a power station. There are a few supermarkets across the town. Angren University was founded in January, 2023.
