History Aglobi is a former Mountain Jews village, first mentioned in 1813. The land on which the village was located belonged to the dynasty of Derbent rulers from the Aglobid family. Over time, Azerbaijanis from the village of Maraga, Tabasaransky region, also began to settle in the village. By the 30s of the 20th centuries, Jews completely left the village. In 1953, residents of the village of Tsiling Kurakhsky district, were resettled to Aglobi.
