Zimmi 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. It was located near the village of Manguk, in the region of Zighindere and at the foot of Yaghan Mountain. The name of the village was noted as “Zimmi Vedisi” in “The Iravan Province Review Book” dated 1728.

The village was inhabited by 184 Azerbaijanis in 1873, 231 in 1886, 322 in 1897, 259 in 1904, 285 in 1914 and 216 Azerbaijanis in 1916. The Azerbaijanis were attacked, massacred or expelled from the village by Armenian armed units in 1919. After the establishment of Soviet power in present-day Armenia, the Azerbaijanis that survived managed to return to the village. The village was inhabited by 24 Azerbaijanis in 1922, 60 in 1926 and 31 Azerbaijanis in 1931. In accordance with the decision of the USSR Council of Ministers “On the resettlement of collective farmers and other Azerbaijani population from the Armenian SSR to the Kur-Araz lowlands of the Azerbaijan SSR” dated 23 December 1947, the Azerbaijani population of the village was forcibly deported to Azerbaijan and the village was abolished.
