Sopore known as Suyyapur in antiquity,[2] is a town in the Baramulla district of Jammu and Kashmir, India. It is {{convert|45|km|abbr=on}} north-west of Srinagar, and {{convert|16|km|abbr=on|0}} south-west from the city of Baramulla.

Sopore City has Asia's second largest fruit mandi (wholesale market).[3] it is known as the "Apple Town".[4] Apart from fruit mandi, Sopore is near to one of Asia's largest freshwater lakes, Wular Lake.[5]

History

Sopore was founded by Utpala engineer and irrigation minister Suyya during the reign of king Avantivarman in 880 CE. As such the name of the city is Suyya-pur, which has been shortened to Sopore. When the engineer Suyya was working in Sopore no people were coming forth to plunge themselves in gushing water. The king, Avantiverman, thereupon ordered that a part of treasury may be thrown into the water; consequently, a large number of people plunged into the river to get as many coins as they could.[6] It was engineer Suyya's idea to throw coins into flooded land not the king.

Pashtun tribesmen such as Mehsud and Afridi from mountainous region of North-West Frontier Province (NWFP) of the newly formed state of Pakistan invaded Sopore on 22 October 1947.[7] In 1989, Sopore became a focus of the separatist activities and violence with frequent protests and strikes. On 6 January 1993, Indian troops fired at local residents and set fire to homes and businesses in which over 55 civilians were killed. The incident is infamously remembered as Sopore massacre.[8]

Education
