History
According to legend, in the first half of the 19th century, a garden in this place was broken by a native of Persia, Aga Mirfetah Mushtaid, in memory of his untimely dead Georgian wife. These lands, with an area of about 50 acres, were received by him as a gift from the Russian government for services during the Russian-Persian war of 1826-1828.
In 1853, the garden was bought by the city authorities and turned into a city park, by the name of the previous owner, it began to be called Mushtaidi. The park served as a reception center for high-ranking guests.
In 1887, the Caucasian silkworm station was organized in the park under the leadership of Nikolai Nikolayevich Shavrov (1858−1915).
At the turn of the XIX — XX centuries, the park was considered the best in the city [1]
In Soviet times, the park was named after S. Ordzhonikidze. In 1935, there was the first children's railway in the USSR (1200 meters, three stations) [2] .
