==History==
Ashaga-Arag is a historical [[Mountain Jews|Mountain-Jewish]] village.
Before Dagestan joined the [[Russian Empire]], the village was part of the Kartas [[mahallah]] of the [[Kura Khanate]]. After the annexation of the Khanate to the Russian Empire, Ashaga-Arag was listed in the [[Kasumkent]] rural community of the Guney [[Nawab|naib]] of the [[Kyurinsky okrug|Kyurinsky]] district of the Dagestan region.
In 1895, the village consisted of 200 households, of which 115 households were Mountain Jews.<ref name='region'>E.I. Kozubsky. [https://viewer.rsl.ru/ru/rsl01003549034?page=219&rotate=0&theme=white Memorial book of the Dagestan region]. National Electronic Library. Temir-Khan-Shura (Buynaksk). Publisher: "Russian printing house."</ref> In the early 1900s, the village was divided into Jewish and Lezgin rural communities. After the [[Russian Revolution|1917 revolution]], most of the Jews left the village. According to the [[1926 Soviet census|1926 census]], the village consisted of 124 households.
Administratively, it was the center of the Ashaga-Arag village council of the [[Suleyman-Stalsky District|Kasumkent]] district.<ref name='census'>[https://web.archive.org/web/20210924110806/http://www.lingvarium.org/docs/dagestan-1926.zip Data from the 1926 All-Union Population Census].</ref> In the 1930s, a [[sovkhoz|state farm]] was created in the village, which until 1957 was named after Kashin, then “40 Years of [[October Revolution|October]]”. In 1964, the “Kasumkent” state farm was created.
In 1969, a decision was made on the planned resettlement of village residents to the village of Kasumkent.<ref name='pdf'>[https://web.archive.org/web/20210915142926/https://instituteofhistory.ru/media/library/publication/files/Аграрный_вопрос_и_пересел._горцев_на_равн._Т.2_2006_XtEoSKk.pdf Kakagasanov G.I., Kaymarazova L.G., Butaev M.D., Dzhambulatova R.I.
