Etymology


The city's name means Rock Cutter in Azerbaijani, in which Azerbaijani daş means stone and kəsən is rooted in the verb kəsmək, "to cut", thus referring to a place where rocks have been hacked.[3][4]



History


The mountains of Daşkəsən were used as pastures for a long time. The most beautiful pastures of the South Caucasus are located here and in Khoshbulag. Khoshbulag was inhabited by the primitive people in the Stone Age whose main engagement was hunting. In the 3rd century B.C. people engaged in animal breeding rose to Khoshbulag pastures. The tradition is followed up today.
Daşkəsən summer pastures are 2000 m high from sea level. Different animal-breeding tribes settled here and built Cyclops-like small towers to protect themselves from attacks. Since that period Daşkəsən turned to the place of settlement.


Tumuli type burying monuments found in the archaeological digs carried out in 1959-1960 in the places of ancient settlement in Daşkəsən show that people used this area as summer pastures and there was only one way to those pastures in summer- north-east, the valley of the river Kur.


The Middle Ages in Daşkəsən are characterized with the development of cultural work.


The Dashkesan was founded after World War II[5] due to mining of iron ore deposits[6]. It began to form on the basis of a temporary settlement of builders and a small mining settlement that arose during the period of preparation for the development of the richest iron ore deposits of industrial importance[7]. In 1948 it received city status[6].

The region Daşkəsən is very rich in natural resources. In the period of the Soviet Union the so-called strategic products of the region, i.e., ironstone, aluminum, cobalt, marble and others were actively exploited.


Many of the buildings in present-day Daşkəsən were constructed by German POWs during the aftermath of World War II. Workers that died during the city's construction are buried in a German cemetery alongside the road between Daşkəsən and Gəncə.
