Imishli (Azerbaijani:İmişli) is a city and the capital of theImishli District ofAzerbaijan.
During theTsardom of Russia,Qaradonlu belonged to theJavad Khan administration. In 1906, the first School ofQaradonlu region was established, with many living-buildings,caravanserais, mills and shops in the area. In August 1930,Qaradonlu was organized in Mil-Mugan as a region. As early as theOctober Revolution, land-reclamation and irrigation work were made based on the intense irrigated plant-growing.
In 1933,Qaradonlu Machine-Tractor Plant was built in theQaradonlu historical region. As a result of the construction of the railway betweenƏlət andYerevan, people moved from the center of the region tosuburbs of therailway stations. The population increase produced two-story brick buildings inQaradonlu and Imishli. The regional capital was moved there and the region becameImishli District. Imishli village also expanded. Government houses were constructed, completely transforming the village's appearance.
In 1944, Imishli was awarded status of town-type settlement, progressing to city status in the 1960s. In 1959, on theAras River in theBəhramtəpə area, water storage was used - which was unique in that time period.
TheQaradonlu region is situated in a favorable area near theAras River providing water resources, productive land and caravan roads. The Bash Mugam and Azizbaiov irrigation canals provide water to the land area of Imishli and to land areas ofBilasuvar District andSaatly District.
The city has one professionalfootball team,Mil-Muğan, currently competing in the second-flight ofAzerbaijani football, theAzerbaijan First Division.[3]
