Background edit

Tamarisi is located between the villages of Parizi and Tsurtavi and was established in 1982 with the establishment of a large poultry factory, on the south side of the S6 highway, to house its labourforce. It immediately acquired the status of an urban-type settlement (daba) when it was founded. A decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Council of the Georgian SSR decided to do so on March 30, 1982, which also assigned the name Tamarisi.[3]

Tamarisi is administratively the center and namesake of the Tamarisi community (temi, თემი) within the Bolnisi Municipality, which also includes the (neighboring) villages of Parizi and Tsurtavi. The town is located at the foot of the Kvemo Kartli Plateau that rises about 150 m (490 ft) above the village. This plateau, from which the Khrami River flows through a gorge, turns here into the Kvemo Kartli Plain. Next to the Tamarisi Poultry Factory is the 18th century Kolagiri fortress.[4]
