Title
Since its founding in the early 20th century , the city was called Kizyl-Arvat during the construction of the Trans-Caspian Railway . After Turkmenistan gained independence in 1991, the Gizilarbat form was also used.
The city received its modern name in honor of Saparmurat Niyazov (Turkmenbashi) : " serdar " in translation from the Turkmen language - "leader". Kizyl-Arvat was renamed Serdar because Saparmurat, having become an orphan as a result of the 1948 Ashgabat earthquake , was identified in the Kizyl-Arvat orphanage, where he lived for several years.
At the Kizyl-Arvat airfield, the 217th aviation regiment of fighter-bombers of the 34th ADIB was based.
