Zardab District, Administrative district in central Azerbaijan
Zardab District is an administrative region in central Azerbaijan spanning approximately 860 square kilometers of flat terrain. Some areas lie below sea level, and the Kura River flows through the landscape, shaping the local geography.
The district was established as an administrative division on February 5, 1935, and remained part of the Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic until 1991. It became part of independent Azerbaijan after the Soviet Union's collapse.
The district's name comes from Persian words referring to historical flood patterns of the Kura River in this region. Visitors can still observe this connection to the landscape today through the river's waterways and the surrounding plains.
The district lies in a central location with easy connections to neighboring regions like Agdash, Ujar, and Kurdamir. Summer temperatures typically range between 41 to 44 degrees Celsius, making the heat quite intense during these months.
The territory contains extensive agricultural zones dedicated to cotton and cereal farming throughout the region. These crops are supported by local processing and manufacturing facilities that operate within the district.
