[3] It is in the Hissar Range close to the border with Tajikistan, and is the closest major town to the Kalchayan and Dalverzin Tepe archaeological sites.

[4] The Uzbek name of the city comes from the Persian word "ده نو" 'Deh-e No' (in Tajik alphabet: “деҳнав”) meaning “new village”.

It is among the largest districts of the Republic.The city is inhabited by Uzbeks, Tajiks, Sogutarosh (one of the groups of Tajik-speaking Romani people), Russians, Tatars, Koreans, Uyghurs and representatives of other nationalities.

[11] The climate in the valley is mild, and so the land around Denov is used successfully for producing wine, as well as growing a variety of other agricultural plants.

And since February 2011 the Denov - Tashkent flight was opened, passing through the new railway track Qumqoʻrgʻon - Boysun - Tashguzar.

Recently, tourists from different countries transit through Denov every year, traveling through Uzbekistan, continuing on their way to neighboring Tajikistan.

[15] Located just south of Denov's centre is the R Shreder Dendrarium, an arboretum housing more than 1,000 species of native and non-native plants.

As well as common trees, herbs, and flowers indigenous to Uzbekistan, the non-native species grown here range from kauchuk (natural rubber) and bamboo, to sequoia and a notable collection of persimmons.

It is 10 km northeast of the modern settlement of Denov and was excavated in the mid 20th century by Soviet archaeologist Professor Galina Pugachenkova.
