Toponym
In the “Caucasian Calendar” of 1856, the name of Peshtasar is given in the letters of the local language (ﭘﻮﺷﺘﻪﺴﺮ).[4] In Russian pre-revolutionary literature, can be found the spellings “Pushtesar”[4] or “Peshtasar”.[2][5]
History
During the 19th and early 20th centuries, Peshtasar was part of the Russian Empire. The village belonged to the Sebidaj mahal of the Shamakhi province.[4] Later, it was part of Lankaran district of the Baku province.[2][6]
In the 1880s, Peshtasar and a number of other settlements (the spelling has been preserved: "Arvana", "Mamulghan", "Mila" with the village of "Urakaran", "Kurakchi" and "Uzu") belonged to Peshtasar rural community of the Zuvand site of the before-mentioned district.[5] Peshtasar was part of the Peshtasar community at the beginning of the 20th century as well.[6]
In 1930, Vargaduz district was formed, which was later renamed Yardimli. In the early 1930s, Peshtasar and five other settlements (Chay Uzu, Asadabad, Nisagala, Urakaran and Uzu) belonged to Uzu village council of Vargaduz district.[7]
