The town is located in the southern part of the Fergana Valley, in a region surrounded on three sides by Tajikistan.

It was renamed by President Sadyr Japarov in honour of Iskhak Razzakov on March 18, 2022.

The villages Ak-Bosogo (formerly Myrza-Patcha), Samat, Chimgen, Taylan, Ak-Bulak, and Golbo are also governed by the Razzakov Mayor's Office.

[6] Starting from the 12th or 13th century the town's name gradually changed to Asbani, Aspana, Asvona, Isvona and, finally, to Isfana.

[7][8][9] In December 2021, President Sadyr Japarov announced that he had made the decision to rename the town after Razzakov[10][11] in the context of border tensions with neighboring Tajikistan.

[16] Throughout history, Razzakov was part of states that reigned the area that more or less corresponds to present-day Uzbekistan.

In mid-19th century, the Russian Empire began occupying the area of present-day Central Asia.

By the late 19th century, imperial Russia had conquered all of the three states that dominated the territory roughly corresponding to present-day Uzbekistan.

[18] However, Uzbek historian Temirboy Yoqubov disputed this claim, saying that the residents of Isfana had historically paid taxes for 1,000 households.

[19] Bekchurin wrote that Isfana was protected by a 200-men garrison whose members were armed "only with lances and sabers".

Some sources hold that the Soviets drew borders inconsistent with the traditional locations of ethnic populations so that people with historical claims to land would be dependent on the central power, that is Moscow, making them easier to control.

[20] According to these sources, the creation of individual republics was meant to reduce the threat of pan-Turkic or pan-Islamic movements in Central Asia.

During World War II, 571 residents of the village were sent to the front line, 385 of whom died fighting.

In 2001, Askar Akayev issued a presidential decree to make Isfana into a town.

Razzakov is in the western part of Batken Region at an altitude of 1,320 meters above sea level.

The spring and fall see significant rainfall, while the summers are hot and dry.

There are many dryland wheat and barley fields in the Isfana area that depend on winter snow and spring rain to produce good crops.

However, if the populations of the six subordinated villages are included, the Kyrgyz become the largest ethnic group.

Those who engage in agriculture mostly grow grains, fruits, vegetables, and plants that produce oil.

Most sellers who work in these bazaars bring their goods from markets in Osh, Kara-Suu, and Khujand.

A large amount of local commerce occurs at the bazaars and small kiosks all over the town.

The villages of Ak-Bosogo (formerly Myrza-Patcha), Samat, Chimgen, Ak-Bulak, Taylan, and Golbo are also governed by the administration of Razzakov.

At Alisher Navoiy Secondary School, classes are taught in Uzbek, Kyrgyz, and Russian.

There is a branch of the International Academy of Management, Law, Finance, and Business (Russian: Международная Академия управления, права, финансов и бизнеса) in Razzakov.

There is also an educational center for children which offers courses in painting, dancing, sculpture, knitting, computing, and foreign languages.

There is a soccer stadium in the middle of the park where most public events take place.

The main cinema of Razzakov has been closed since Kyrgyzstan gained independence from the Soviet Union in the early 1990s.

Buses, minibuses, and taxi cabs run to many parts of Kyrgyzstan from the station.

The road that connects Razzakov with Batken and Osh was not maintained after Kyrgyzstan became independent in the early 1990s.

The runway has a weight limit of 22 tons and has no instrument landing facilities and operates only during daylight hours.
