Igoeti was founded in the twelfth (XII) century. Igoeti is near the
Mtkvari River (sometimes called the
Kura) which has sustained the people near Igoeti and beyond for over 7,000 years. Running through Igoeti also is the Lekhura river. Then, during the
Russo-Georgian war, Russian troops stopped in Igoeti on 15 August, the closest they had gotten to
Tbilisi, before a ceasefire agreement was signed. == Demographics ==
