Gamishgol was a winter pasture located in the territory of the Gazakh uezd of the former Yelizavetpol (Ganja) governorate, later in the former Shamshaddin (Berd) district, and present-day Tavush province. It was dissolved in 1930.
The toponym was coined from the words “gamish” (reed) and “gol” (a lake), and means “a winter pasture near a reed lake”.
