Javad Khanate

Javad Khanate was a khanate in the territory of modern Azerbaijan with its capital in the town of Javad. It extended from Javad on the Kura River southwest along the east side of the Arax River. It was bordered by Shamakhy Khanate (north), Karabakh Khanate (west), Karadagh khanate (southwest), Talysh Khanate (south), and Salyan Sultanate (east).

It was formed in the middle of the 18th century in the area where the Kura and Araz rivers meet. In 1768 it was dependent on the Quba Khanate. The area was annexed to Russia in 1805 (see Caucasus Viceroyalty (1801–1917)).[1]

Tsutsiev's atlas[2] shows it on the 1763-1785 map. On the 1791-1801 map its territory is part of the Shirvan Khanate with some of the south belonging to Talysh.
