Etymology
The name of the village is thought to come from the Rutul word хъар ("pit"), possibly referring to its location inside a large depression.
History
The exact date of the settlement’s origin is unknown. It is believed to have appeared in the late 19th – early 20th centuries, when people from other villages, searching for favorable pastures, settled in Fartma.[1] The first houses soon appeared. Inhabitants belonged to two tukhums — mitarar and manafar.
In the 1960s, residents of Fartma and the nearby village of Natsma were resettled to Tsudik.[7] Later, the fields where the village once stood were cultivated by the collective farm "Red Partisan".
A 1962 source mentions Fartma as an offshoot of Myukhrek, along with Natsma.[1]
Geography
The village was located on the slope of a mountain, at the winter pasture of Myukhrek. The area was well suited for agriculture and animal husbandry.[8]
