History
The first settlers of the area were the survivors (around 60 families) of the Armenian genocide who escaped from the district of Butaniya in Western Armenia and founded the neighborhood of Nor Butaniya in 1925.
Nor Aresh is named after the old Armenian district of Aresh. The first inhabitants of Nor Aresh arrived from Nukhi, Azerbaijan. Following the Armenian repatriatsion process in 1946, Nor Aresh and Vardashen neighborhoods were resettled by Armenian migrants from Syria, Lebanon, Greece, France, Bulgaria and Egypt.
Mushavan, originally a village near Yerevan, was absorbed by the city since 1965 to become part of Erebuni district.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“History ... is, indeed, little more than the register of the crimes, follies, and misfortunes of mankind.
But what experience and history teach is this—that peoples and governments have never learned anything from history, or acted on principles deduced from it.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
“Free from public debt, at peace with all the world, and with no complicated interests to consult in our intercourse with foreign powers, the present may be hailed as the epoch in our history the most favorable for the settlement of those principles in our domestic policy which shall be best calculated to give stability to our Republic and secure the blessings of freedom to our citizens.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
