History
The locale is first mentioned in the medieval annals as a military post established by King
Queen Tamar (r. 1184–1213). After the annexation of Georgia, Russians established a military fort in 1803 to fend off the area being attacked by the Dagestani rebels and renamed the village into Tsarskie Kolodtsy (Russian
: Царские Колодцы), that is "the royal wells".
In 1869, the
Ernst Werner von Siemens established an oil refinery near the village which functioned until the mid-1870s.[2]
The village retained its military installations and a large garrison during Georgia's
Soviet Russian forces after hours of heavy fighting with Georgian troops on February 18, 1921. The Russian commander Pyotr Kuryshko died in this battle.[3]
The
Vashlovani State Reserve
is also located within the Dedoplis Tskaro district.
