Alimardan 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 had been within the Gamarli (Artashat) district until 1940. It was located 25 km to the northeast of the Gamarli (Artashat) district and on the source of the Garni River. The village was marked on the five- verst map of the Caucasus.

The village was inhabited by 52 Azerbaijanis in 1873, 57 in 1886, 153 in 1897, 63 in 1904, 221 in 1914 and 206 Azerbaijanis in 1916. The Azerbaijanis were attacked, massacred or ousted from the village by Armenian armed units in 1918. After the establishment of Soviet power in present-day Armenia, the Azerbaijanis who survived managed to return to the village. The village was solely inhabited by Azerbaijanis: 52 in 1922, 41 in 1926, 65 in 1931 and 115 Azerbaijanis in 1939. In accordance with the decision of the USSR Council of Ministers “On the resettlement of collective farmers and other Azerbaijani population from Armenian SSR to the Kur-Araz lowlands of the Azerbaijan SSR” dated 23 December 1947, the Azerbaijanis were deported to Azerbaijan. Some of the deportees managed to return to the village which was later abolished. At present, it lies in ruins.

The toponym was coined on the basis of the personal name “Alimardan”.
