Establishment of the city of Sumgait
The city of Sumgait is located on the western coast of the Caspian Sea, at the mouth of the Sumgait River, on a plain. It is the 3rd largest city in the republic. Sumgait was first mentioned in historical sources by the English traveler Burrough in 1580. In the 30s of the 18th century, the German traveler Lerks reported the existence of a flowing river on the territory of present-day Sumgait and the existence of a stone bridge across it. However, starting from the mid-30s of the 20th century, when the implementation of a large-scale industrialization policy began in the former USSR, the formation of a large industrial center and the Sumgait industrial center's creation fell upon Azerbaijan.
