Toponym

edit

The "Caucasian Calendar" of 1856 gives the name of the village in the local language letters (ﺍﺮﻮﺍﻧه).[3] In Russian pre-revolutionary literature, can be found the spelling "Arvane"[3] or two spellings: "Arvan (Arvana)".[1][2]

During the 19th and 20th centuries, Arvana belonged to the Russian Empire. The village belonged to the Sebidaj mahal of the Shamakhi province.[3] Later, it was part of the Lankaran district of Baku province.[1][4][5]

Along with other settlements (spelling preserved: "Kurakchi", "Mamulghan", "Mila" with the village of "Urakaran", "Peshtasar" with the village of "Asadabad" and "Uzu"), Arvana in the 1880s belonged to the Peshtasar rural community of Zuvand site of the above-mentioned district.

The mentioned settlements (Arvana, Abasabad, Kurakchi, Mamulghan, Mila, Peshtasar, Urakaran and Uzu) were part of the Peshtasar community at the beginning of the 20th century.

In 1930, the Vargaduz district was formed, which was later renamed Yardimli.

In 2018, the mobile operator Nar deployed a mobile network in Arvana.
