Jamishbasan 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 22 km to the northeast of the town of Vedi (Ararat) and near the Jighinsu River. The name of the village was marked on the five-verst map of the Caucasus.

The village was inhabited by 51 Azerbaijanis in 1828 and 65 Azerbaijanis in 1897. The village was devastated as a result of massacres carried out by Armenian armed formations in 1905–1906.

The toponym was coined by adding the participle “basan” to the word “Jamish” which was reflected in the name of the “Jamish Kozakli” tribe of the Gizilbash.
