After the Russo-Persian War and the Turkmanchay Treaty of 1828, the region was ceded to Imperial Russia, and became a part of Nakhichevan uyezd of Erivan Governorate. Since 1921 Ordubad was a part of Nakhichevan Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, which in 1990 became the Nakhichevan Autonomous Republic within the Azerbaijan Republic.
