In antiquity the territory was a part of [[Artsakh (historic province)|Artsakh]]; in the Middle Ages it was part of the [[principality of Khachen]]; in the 17-18th centuries the territory formed part of Melik-Abovian dynasty's [[Melikdoms of Karabakh|Melikdom]] of [[Gülüstan, Goranboy|Gulistan]], with its capital in the fortress of that name.<ref>G.

During Soviet times, the area was renamed after the [[Armenians|Armenian]] [[Bolshevik]] [[Stepan Shaumian]], its administrative center, previously the Armenian village of Nerkishen<ref name="egbertjahn">Egbert Jahn, ''Nationalism in Late and Post-Communist Europe'', vol. 2, Nomos, 2009, p. 277.</ref> or Nerkinshen<ref name="sergeynovikov">Сергей Новиков: [https://serge-novikov.livejournal.com/39386.html Нагорный Карабах.

By the 1990s, the population of Shahumyan district was almost exclusively Armenian, though the area was not included within the boundaries of the [[Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast]] by the [[Soviet Union]]. In the spring-summer of 1991, Soviet president [[Mikhail Gorbachev]] ordered the execution of [[Operation Ring]], in which the Soviet [[Red Army]] surrounded some of the area's Armenian villages (notably Getashen and Martunashen) and violently deported their inhabitants to the [[Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic|Armenian SSR]]. Approximately 17,000 Armenians living in Shahumyan's twenty-three villages were expelled from the region. |

In December 1991, with the [[Dissolution of the Soviet Union|Soviet Union imploding]], Shahumyan was claimed by the [[Republic of Artsakh]] and became the flashpoint of considerable fighting during the [[First Nagorno-Karabakh War]]. This reached a climax in summer 1992, when the [[Azerbaijani Armed Forces|Azerbaijani army]] was able to retain its control over most of the area. Damage was severe and the Armenian population fled. Shaumian was renamed to Aşağı Ağcakənd in 1992, and the town has since been partly re-populated by [[Refugees in Azerbaijan|Azerbaijani refugees]] and internally displaced persons.<ref>Trailblazer "Azerbaijan with Excursions to Georgia", Hindhead, UK, 2004; p245</ref> |
