[2] Materials and coins found in archaeological excavations related to the period of Alexander the Great, Arakis, and Empire of Rome prove that the center of the district (Barda city) is one of the oldest centers, not only in Azerbaijan but also in the Middle East.

The center of the Albanian church was moved to Barda in 552 and was occupied by Iranian feudalists in 639.
