history
From the collapse of the Kingdom of Georgia in the 15th century until the 19th century, the area belonged virtually continuously to the Kingdom of Imereti . While Georgia was part of the Russian Empire , it was located in the Ujesden Kutais and Shorapani of the Kutais Governorate , to which it belonged until the early years of the Soviet Union.
In 1930 the new Chchari Rajon, named after the river and the village of the same name, located about 8 km north of Terdschola, was expelled within today's boundaries . In 1950 the administrative seat was moved to Terdschola and the Rajon was renamed accordingly. After the independence of Georgia, Terjola Rajon was assigned to the newly formed Imereti region in 1995 and converted into a municipality in 2006.
