One of the earliest records on the Turkish tribe of Azar-Ahmedlu dates back to 1804.

During a population census carried out in 1886, the same members of the tribe were registered in different places, as a result of which their number was highly exaggerated. In contrast to that, in 1914, when the tribe had already shifted to a sedentary life by turning its former winter encampment into a village, the population census yielded a much smaller but trustworthy number.
