The town was founded in 1882. From 1942 to 1991 it was named Panfilov after Ivan Panfilov, a Soviet Russian general who died in 1941, during the Battle of Moscow of World War II. Jarkent is well known for its 19th-century mosque, commissioned by a wealthy merchant and community leader named Vali Bay. It is notable for its unique mix of Chinese and Central Asian architectural styles, due to the territory briefly being administered under Qing rule.
