History of the Establishment and Renaming of Mir Sayid Ali Hamadoni District
Establishment of the District:
The district was established on September 15, 1950, by Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Tajik SSR as part of Kulyab Region under the name “Chubek.”
Renaming of the District:
As a symbol of friendship and brotherhood, and in honor of a group of specialists and workers from the city of Moscow, Russian Federation, who participated in the construction of roads, irrigation networks, and the development of the district’s lands, the district was renamed “Moscow” at the request of local residents by Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Tajik SSR on December 13, 1952.
By Resolution No. 502 of the Majlisi Milli of the Majlisi Oli of the Republic of Tajikistan dated February 12, 2004, the name of Moscow District was changed to Mir Sayid Ali Hamadoni District. The proposal and request of the district’s residents were based on the desire to honor the memory of the renowned scholar and thinker of the East, Mir Sayid Ali Hamadoni, who first came to the village of Chubek in the district, lived there for some time, and engaged in scholarly and creative activities.
The total area of the district is 50 km². The district borders the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan to the south (along 35 km), Farkhor District to the west (9 km), Shamsiddin Shohin District to the southeast (150 km), and Vose District to the northeast (42 km).
