Historical Introduction
1894 — 1895 yy․

It was established in the late 19th century by some stock-breeders who had shifted to a sedentary life. Originally, it represented a cluster of several small villages located within some distance of each other, but known by the same name. Between 1894 and 1895, they belonged to nineteen Turkish landowners and Tiflis citizen Grigor Sargissian Atabekiants.
