The municipality of Khashuri is located in the Shida Kartli Region (central Georgia). Khashuri was first mentioned in a document dated 1693. Located on the Mtkvari River, modern Khashuri was founded in 1872 as a modest railway halt called "Mikhaylovo" after Grand Duke Michael Nikolaevich of Russia, Viceroy of the Caucasus. In 1917, it was renamed Khashuri. Granted a town status in 1921, the town was known as Stalinisi after Joseph Stalin from 1928 to 1934.
