History

The area of today's Armavir was first inhabited by Abazins. Later Turkic Tatars from the Crimean Khanate also settled here. As a result of the Caucasian War the remaining Abazins were forced to emigrate from North Caucasia to the Ottoman Empire. Armavir is also a part of the historical land of the Circassians.

The contemporary settlement was founded in 1839[2] by Cherkesogai Armenians as Armyansky aul (Армя́нский ау́л). It has been known by its current name since 1848, when it was named after Armavir, one of the historical capitals of ancient Armenia.[10] The city was the administrative center of the Labinsky Otdel of the Kuban Oblast.

During the Russian Civil War of 1918–1920, a number of brutal battles took place near the city. The Taman Army's military campaign ended in Armavir in 1918. The Soviet authority was established in Armavir in March 1920. During World War II, the city was occupied by the German Army. It was liberated by the Red Army in January 1943.

Within the framework of administrative divisions, it is, together with eleven rural localities, incorporated as the City of Armavir—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts.[1] As a municipal division, the City of Armavir is incorporated as Armavir Urban Okrug.[4]
