Geography
The village of Kypchag is located on the Alazan-Avtoran Plain , on the banks of the Karachay River (it is also Mukhakhchay) [3] , which is the left tributary of the Ganykh ( Alazani ) river [4] .
Etymology
The name of the village comes from the Turkic tribe of Kypchaks [5] [6] .
History
In the early 1870s, this settlement (in the sources of either Kipchak or Kipchakh) was mentioned among the villages of the Karasuy naibstvo of the Zakatala district [7] [8] . In the mid-1880s, he belonged to the Kipchakhsky rural community of the Kakhsky district [9] .
In the past, residents of Kipchak were socially divided into Beks and peasants. As I.P. Linevich wrote in 1873, the Kipchakh beks were descended from Ali Girkli-bek, whose descendant, Khan Baba-bek, was the Ilisu Sultan [10] . According to the materials of the family lists for 1886, out of 447 inhabitants of the village (81 smoke), 413 people in the estates were peasants on state land (75 smoke) and 34 beks [9] .
In this village, after harvesting grain, the peasant arable lands of the Beks were either converted to pastures for their livestock, or leased for the same purpose [11] . At the request of the beks, part of the Kipchak yards, when traveling for the beks, was obliged to provide them with an escort, as well as means of transportation for moving to summer premises [10] . As of the beginning of the 20th century, Kipchakh belonged to the group of Paradise villages of the Zakatala District that paid maljagat (a known share of the grain harvest) in the amount of 1⁄7 of the crop [12] .
In the early 1920s, Kipchak belonged to the Kipchakh rural community of the Zakatala district of the Azerbaijan SSR [13] . As of January 1, 1961, it was one of the villages of the Ilisuinsky village council ( village council ) [14] , and as of January 1, 1977, it was the Kypchak village council of the Kakh region of the Azerbaijan SSR [15] .
In the late 1970s, in Kypchak there was a secondary school, library, and hospital [3] .
Population
XIX century

According to the desk description of 1869, Kipchakh was inhabited by “mugals and beks” [8] , where mugals should be understood as Azerbaijanis .
The 1871 national census says that 356 “Tatars” Muslims (that is, Muslim Azerbaijanis) live in the village and there are 70 smokes [7] . I.P. Linevich in 1873 wrote that Kipchakh was from 9 Bek families and 50 mugals [10] .
The materials of the family lists for 1886 show 81 smoke and 447 inhabitants in Kipchakh, of which 438 are “Tatars” (79 smoke), which should be understood as Azerbaijanis, and 9 Avars (2 smoke) and all residents are Sunni Muslims [9] .

Here, a certain part of geographical objects reflects the names of ancient tribes and clans: Kypchak, p. (Kakhsky district). The following opinions exist about the arrival of Kypchaks in Azerbaijan. According to R. A. Huseynov, during the invasion of Turkic tribes under the leadership of the Seljuk-Oguzes in the Transcaucasus, including Azerbaijan (XI-XIII centuries), they included Kipchaks. But some authors believe that the Kipchaks still in the VII century. made trips to Azerbaijan. This shows that the Kipchaks came to Azerbaijan at different times. Researchers believe that the Kipchaks consisted of a number of tribes, and the names of some of them were reflected in the toponymy of Azerbaijan.
