history
After the disintegration of the medieval Kingdom of Georgia in the 16th century, the area of the municipality belonged to the independent Kingdom of Kartlien , then to the unified Kartlien- Kakheti in 1762 . During membership of the Russian Empire from 1801, it was mainly in the western part of Ujesd Tiflis of the Tbilisi Governorate , the southeast part in its Ujesd Bortschali .
After the Ujesd in the early years of the Soviet Union had continued to exist, the independent in 1930 Rajon Agbulach spun; At that time, Agbulach was the Turkish-speaking name of the main town in its Russified form ( Ağbulaq in modern Azerbaijani ), synonymous with the Georgian form Tetrizqaro and the previously official Russian Bely Klyutsch, which translates as "White Spring" , due to the majority of the population at that time . In 1940 the Georgian form for place and Rajon became official (Russified Tetri-Zkaro ). After Georgia gained independence, the Rajon was assigned to the newly formed Lower Cartlian Region in 1995 and transformed into a municipality in 2006.
