The Akhalkalaki Uyezd (Russian: Ахалкалакский уезд; Georgian: ახალქალაქის მაზრა; Armenian: Ախալքալաքի գավառ) was a uezd (county) of the Tiflis Governorate of the Caucasus Viceroyalty of the Russian Empire, and then of Democratic Republic of Georgia, with its administrative center in Akhalkalaki.[1][2] The uyezd bordered the Gori Uyezd to the north, the Borchaly Uyezd to the east, the Alexandropol Uezd of the Erivan Governorate and the Kars and Ardahan okrugs of the Kars Oblast to the south, and the Akhaltsikhe Uyezd to the west. The area of the uyezd roughly corresponded to the contemporary Samtskhe-Javakheti region of Georgia.
History
The territory of the Akhalkalaki Uyezd, then part of the Akhaltsikhe Uyezd, entered into the Kutais Governorate of the Russian Empire following the Russo-Turkish War of 1828. By 1874, the Akhkalaki Uyezd was detached from the hitherto larger Akhaltsikhe Uyezd, becoming a constituent county of the Tiflis Governorate.
Following the Russian Revolution, the Akhalkalaki Uyezd was incorporated into the short-lived Democratic Republic of Georgia.
