history
From the collapse of the Kingdom of Georgia in the early 15th century until the 19th century, the territory of today's municipality belonged to the Principality of Guria. After the annexation to the Russian Empire it became part of the Ujesds Gurien. This existed with different administrative assignments until the Soviet period, when the Chochatauri Rajon was spun off in 1930 . Apart from a short break from 1962 to 1963 (affiliation to the Osurgeti Rajon), this administrative unit still exists on a practically unchanged area. After the independence of Georgia in 1995 it was attached to the newly formed Guria region and in 2006 it was converted into a municipality.
traffic
The most important traffic axis is the national road Sch2 ( შ 2 ), which comes from Sadschawacho near Samtredia through the northwest part of the municipality with Tschochatauri and continues via Osurgeti to Kobuleti on the Black Sea . In Tschochatauri the national road Sch81 ( შ 81 ) branches off, which opens up the southern, mountainous part of the municipality and ends in the resort of Bachmaro (part of the municipality of Nabeghlawi) at a height of 1900 m .
The municipality is not connected to the railway network. The nearest train stations are located a good 10 km north of Chochatauri in Sadschawacho on the Samtredia - Batumi route and in the administrative center of the neighboring municipality of Osurgeti to the west, a good 20 km from Chochatauri.
