Notes on Lebap Province

Lebap is the easternmost province of Turkmenistan. The capital is Turkmenabat. Major industries include natural gas extraction, hydrocarbon processing, sulfur and potash mining, and cotton production. A major oil refinery is located in Seýdi. The Amu Darya flows through this province. Two major bridges across the Amu Darya were commissioned in 2017, one for rail and one for motor vehicles, linking Turkmenabat with the town of Farap, which borders Uzbekistan. Major tourist attractions include the world's longest dinosaur tracks near Koýtendag and the 10th-century Daýahatyn caravansaray northwest of Turkmenabat.

As of 9 November 2022 Lebap Province (Lebap welaýaty) is subdivided into 8 districts (etrap, plural etraplar):[1] [2][3] As of November 27, 2017, Lebap Province is subdivided into 10 districts :[4][5]

  4. Halaç

  7. Köýtendag
  8. Saýat

As of that date two districts, Döwletli and Farap, were abolished. Farap's territory and municipalities were transferred to Çärjew etraby, and Döwletli's were split between Hojambaz and Köýtendag. Previously, in 2017, four districts (Beýik Türkmenbaşy, Garaşsyzlyk, Garabekwül, and Sakar) were abolished and their territories absorbed by other districts. The cities of Seýdi and Magdanly were reduced in status from cities equivalent to a district (etrap) to cities within a district. In 2017, the city of Atamyrat had its former name, Kerki, restored, and Atamyrat etraby was renamed Kerki etraby. In the same way the names Dänew and Darganata were restored, as well.[5]

As of 9 November 2022, the province included 15 cities (города or şäherler), 24 towns (посёлки or şäherçeler), 97 rural or village councils (сельские советы or geňeşlikler), and 430 villages (села, сельские населенные пункты or obalar).[1][2][3] One city in Lebap enjoys legal status equivalent to districts:
