Guliston

In the 19th century there was a kishlak Achchikkuduk ("well with salt water"), which had 40 households, a mosque, and a chaikhana. In 1869, by order of the Governor-General of Turkestan Konstantin Petrovich von Kaufmann, the possibility of irrigating the Mirzachoʻl was explored. In 1886, land diggers who arrived from different places of Russia for the construction of the canal formed 8 small Russian settlements in Khojikent district: Romanovsky (Peasant), Zaporozhsky, Nadezhdinsky, Nikolaevsky, Obetovanny, Nizhnevolynsky, Verkhnevolynsky and Konnogvardeysky (Red Dawn). The construction of a canal 84 km long, named after Nicholas I and brought to Mirzachoʻl (Gulistan), which was put into operation in 1895, began in 1872. …

It lies in the southeastern part of the Mirzachül (formerly Golodnaya steppe), 120 kilometres (75 mi) southwest of Tashkent. Its population is 91,300 (2021). The main industry in the area is cottonpicking. Guliston has a hot-summer Mediterranean climate (Köppen Csa).

Saint Nicholas Temple is an architectural monument located in the city of Guliston (Sirdaryo region, Uzbekistan). The church was built in 1945 as a house of prayer. It is located at 94 Turkestan Street in Guliston. In 1890, in the village of Guliston in the Turkestan Governorate of the Russian Empire, a large brick church was erected. It could accommodate no fewer than a hundred parishioners, but it was demolished in the 1930s during the Soviet era. In 1945, a decision was made to build a new house of prayer in Guliston. The new house of prayer, constructed from adobe brick, was built in less than a year and opened its doors to parishioners on November 9, 1945.
