Akcha

Akcha

Akcha used to be a town and khanate of Afghan Turkestan. The town lies 42 m. westward of Balkh on the road to Andkhoy. It is protected by a mud wall and a citadel. Estimated population 8000, chiefly Uzbegs. The khanate was small, but well watered and populous. The rivers rising in the southern mountains, which no longer reach the Oxus, terminate in vast swamps near Akcha, and into these the debris of such vegetation as yearly springs up on the slopes of the southern hills is washed down in time of flood.
