According to the “Code of statistical data of the Transcaucasian region population, extracted from the family lists of 1886”, in the village of Chalabilar, Tumasli rural district, Jabrayil district, there were 7 dym where lived 59 Azerbaijanis (listed as “Tatars”), who were Sunni by religion, 31 of them were representatives of the clergy, the rest were peasants.[4]
During the Soviet years, the village was part of Jabrayil district, Azerbaijan SSR. The village of Chalabilar was registered as part of Dagh Tumas village council of the district in 1933.[3] The entire population of the village council at that time was formed by Azerbaijanis (in the source - “Turks”).
