Chatgran was a village in the territory of the Echmiadzin uezd of the former Iravan governorate, later in the former Ashtarak district, and present-day Aragatsotn province. It was located near the Zangi River. The name of the village was marked on the five-verst map of the Caucasus.

The vilage was solely inhabited by Azerbaijanis: 368 in 1873, 413 in 1886, 630 in 1897, 667 in 1908 and 807 Azerbaijanis in 1914. The Azerbaijani inhabitants of the village were massacred or expelled from the village by armed Armenian Dashnak formations in 1918. After the establishment of Soviet power in present-day Armenia, the Azerbaijanis who survived were able to return to their ancestral lands. The village was inhabited by 53 Azerbaijanis in 1922, 46 in 1926 and 88 Azerbaijanis in 1931. By the special order of the USSR government, the Azerbaijanis were deported from their historical and ethnic lands to Azerbaijan in 1948–1949. The village was abolished in 1953. At present, it is ruined.

The toponym was coined by combining the word “chat” meaning in Turkic “a place between two rivers”, “the edge of a ravine”, “a mountain saddle, a spur, a lowland between two valleys, an edge” and the word “kurn/gran” meaning “a military camp; a fence; a yard; a place surrounded with walls; headquarters; a camp; a house; a karavansarai”.
