There is an interesting tale narrated about Ürgenç, the world-famous capital of Köneürgenç. In ancient times, the son of Köneürgenç, Şehzade Genç, fell in love with a fairy-like girl. Since the father of the girl was also a Soltan, he bestowed on his son-in-law a caravan-load of gold. The gold he granted was so much that the treasury of Köneürgenç could not contain it. Therefore, the remainder of the gold was allotted to the people. For the share of posterity, the Şah also scattered much of this gold over the land of Ürgenç, and ploughed it in several times.
