Zestafoni or Zestaponi is the capital of Zestaponi District in Western Georgia, which is part of Imereti province. It is an important industrial center, with a large ferro-alloy plant processing manganese ore from nearby Chiatura. Zestafoni is in the Kolkheti lowlands. The surrounding countryside is a wine-growing region.
Zestafoni lies two kilometers south of the small but ancient fortress town of Shorapani, founded by Pharnavaz I of Iberia in the 3rd century BC.[citation needed] The town of Zestafoni is first mentioned in historical records in the 1560s. In the 1820s a Cossack army was posted in the town, which was then called “”Kvirila”” after the river that runs through it. In the 1920s the name was changed again to “”Jugeli””, after a famous revolutionary. Only later did the city regain its historical name.
