History change

The Abazins were the first people to live in Armavir. Turkic Tatars from the Crimean Khanate also lived there. The Abazins were later forced to emigrate from Southern Russia to the Ottoman Empire. Armavir is also part of the old land of the Circassians.

Armavir was founded in 1839[2] by Cherkesogai Armenians. They named it Armyansky aul (Армя́нский ау́л). It was named Armavir in 1848. It was named after the ancient city of Armavir, one of the historic capitals of ancient Armenia.[10] Armavir was the administrative centre of the Labinsky Otdel of Kuban Oblast in the Russian Empire.

Many deadly battles took place near Armavir during the Russian Civil War. The Taman Army's military campaign ended in Armavir in 1918. The Soviets took control in 1920. The city was occupied by the German Army during World War II. It was liberated by the Red Army in January 1943.
