Yeghegnadzor is one of the ancient settlements of the Armenian Highland. This is evidenced by the finds of the mausoleum in the north-eastern part of the city. They belong to the first millennium BC. According to historical sources, Yeghegnadzor was called in the Middle Ages by Ponzatagh, Skhtoralez, later Yegegik, Yeghegis, and from the beginning of the 19th century, Keshishkend. Once the Soviet order has been approved, Keshishkend becomes a regional center.
In 1935, Keshishkend was renamed Mikoyan, a prominent political figure of the Soviet Union Anastas Mikoyan. By the Decree of the Supreme Council of Armenia on December 6, 1958, the Mikoyan district and the same settlement were renamed Yeghegnadzor. In 1996 the Yeghegnadzor and Vayk regions united and became the province called Vayots Dzor, and the settlement was granted the status of the city.
