Since 1930, "Shahbuz" name has been restored. In 1963, the district was abolished and given to the Nakhchivan (since 1978, Babak) region. Since 1965, it has been an independent district. In 2007, the settlement of Shahbuz was given city status.[3] In 2013, by decree of President of Azerbaijan Republic, Qarababa village was dissolved and added into the administrative territory of the city of Shahbuz.[4] The population of the city is up to 5000.
