The Tiflis Uyezd (Russian: Тифлисский уезд; Georgian: ტფილისის მაზრა) was an uezd (county) of the Tiflis Governorate of the Caucasus Viceroyalty of the Russian Empire, and then of Democratic Republic of Georgia, with its administrative center in Tiflis (Tbilisi).^[1]^[2] The area of the uyezd roughly corresponded to the contemporary Kvemo Kartli region of Georgia. The district bordered the Telavi Uyezd to the northeast, the Tianeti and Dusheti uyezds to the north, the Gori Uyezd to the northwest, the Borchaly Uyezd to the west, the Kazakh Uyezd of the Elisabethpol Governorate to the south, and the Signakh Uyezd to the east.

History[]

The Tiflis Uyezd as part of the Georgia Governorate was formed in 1801 as a result of the annexation of the Kingdom of Kartli-Kakhetian to the Russian Empire. In 1840, the district formed a part of the Georgia-Imeretia Governorate, then after 1846 it was included in the Tiflis Governorate until its abolition by Soviet authorities. In 1880, the Borchaly Uyezd was detached from the Tiflis Uyezd to be administered separately.^[1]

Following the Russian Revolution, the Tiflis Uyezd was incorporated into the short-lived Democratic Republic of Georgia.^[3]
