On August 26, 1936, during the regionalization of the city of Tashkent, the Kirov region was formed, named after S. M. Kirov, a Soviet statesman and politician. Then, on the territory of the former housing estate, collective farm fields and vineyards turned green.

The impetus for the construction of the massif was the Tashkent earthquake of 1966 , in which the Kirov region was particularly affected. The challenge arose of quickly commissioning millions of square meters of housing. The construction of new comfortable neighborhoods has begun: Karakamysh, Sergeli, the Northeast ... including Yunusabad. The construction of the array began in 1968 . Within two years, 700 thousand square meters of housing were built here. Bus routes were organized, a tram line was laid, and many cultural enterprises were created. The array grew rapidly in the 70s and 80s.

May 8, 1992 the Kirov region was renamed Yunusabad.

In recent years, the most significant event for the Yunusabad massif is the commissioning in 2001 of the Yunusabad line of the Tashkent metro . It’s not fully completed. Brought only to Shakhristanskaya street (former Guards).

There are several versions about the etymology of the name Yunusabad ^[2] . According to academician Muhammadzhanov, the name of the place is very ancient and comes from Yunus works. Urban settlements in Yunusabad are almost as ancient as Tashkent itself. The Yunusabad Aktepa , an archaeological monument of the 5th- 13th centuries , an ancient settlement with a fortress and extensive craft quarters, is very famous among archaeologists.

The fortress is a manor castle. Presumably it was the summer residence of the rulers of Chach . The economic part and the cult with the Zoroastrian altar were excavated in it. The complex was surrounded by a moat, through which a single bridge led. It was well fortified, but was taken and destroyed by the Arabs. Revived, but was repeatedly and finally destroyed by the Mongols in the XIII century .

The next significant page in the history of the district is connected with the name of the Tashkent ruler Yunus Khoji .

In the XVIII century, the city ​​of Tashkent was divided into four independent parts ( daha ) - Sheikhantaur, Sebzar, Kukcha and Beshagach. Each daha had its own ruler (hokima). There was no single control. Hokim Sheikhantaura - Yunus Khoja - managed to put an end to this and took control of the whole city. By order of Yunus Khoji, Tashkent was surrounded by a single fortress wall. The famous twelve gates were built. Under the leadership of Yunus Khoja, the Tashkent residents defeated the Elder Kazakh Horde (Uly Zhuz) and subjugated its entire territory. Thus, trade routes from Central Asia to Russia were secured.

The Yunus Khoji fortress ( Urda ) was located south of the Baland Mosque in the territory of the First Almazar, formerly called Eski-Urda (Old Urda). And the residence of Yunus Khoji was located in Yunusabad. Hence the name - Yunusabad in translation means “city of Yunus” ( according to another version “landscaped by Yunus”: “Yunus” is a name, “rim” is well-maintained. That is why you can sometimes see a separate spelling of Yunus-Abad or Yunus-Rim, which is the principle not used in official documents ).

In 1807, Yunus Khoja died in the war with the Kokand Khan . For disobedience shown by Tashkent residents, Khan Olim Zalim (Cruel Olim) looted and subjugated the city. Old Urda was destroyed and a new one was built in a place that is known to modern Tashkent citizens as Urda. Yunusabad turned into a countryside for a long time.

5302 organizations and enterprises, 4310 microfirms and 390 joint ventures, such as the Uzbekkishlokmash industrial enterprise, Venus Food LLC, a car-building plant, a book and magazine factory, and Uzbekenergosnab, operate in the district.
