Kurdamir District

Kurdamir District is an administrative area in the central Aran region that spreads across flat lowland terrain with few river systems. The main waterways are the Girdymanchay and Aghsu rivers, which flow through the lower sections of the landscape.

The district was established in 1930 as an administrative center for the Aran economic region during the Azerbaijani Soviet period. This creation was part of a larger restructuring of the regional administrative system.

The name Kurdamir comes from the local Shirvan dialect, where 'Kur' means brave and 'Damir' refers to a leader of seven settlements. This naming reflects the region's historical roots in local traditions.

The area is mainly agricultural land where most economic activity centers on farming operations. Visitors should expect to see traditional villages and agricultural landscapes that define the region's character.

A natural hot spring emerged in 1971 near Mollakand village and produces very hot water. This unusual natural phenomenon made the location a point of geological interest in the area.
