Karvansara was a village in the territory of the Iravan uezd of the former Iravan governorate, later in the former Vedi (Ararat) district, and present-day Ararat province. İt was located near the village of Armash. The village was noted as “Karvansara mazrasi” in “The Iravan Province Comprehensive Data Book” compiled in 1590 and marked as “Karvansara” on the five-verst map of the Caucasus.

The village was inhabited by 68 Azerbaijanis in 1897 and 76 Azerbaijanis in 1914. The Azerbaijanis were attacked, massacred or expelled from the village by Armenian armed units in 1918. Later, the village was abolished. At present, it lies in ruins.

The toponym was coined on the basis of the word “carvansara” meaning “a building on a trade road”.
