The villagers date back to the Safavid period, when some of the Georgians of Qazvin (the capital of that Safavid period) were displaced and the name of the village is taken from them. These Georgians founded the villages of the Ten Azna . Karitlan and Burjeleh, Cheghazal and Cheghaghoni and Cheghasidee. The last two villages were destroyed in the 1281 solar year's earthquake.
