immigrants from Aratsap in 1830 and is well known for its famous honey; hence, the name Meghradzor literally translates to valley of honey.

The local economy is heavily dependent on agriculture, based predominantly on beekeeping, cattle-breeding, and farming (potatoes, cabbages, and grains). There is also a disused gold mine north of Meghradzor that has been in use since the 19th century. In the foothills nearby, to the south, is the 12th-century walled Chalcedonian Armenian Tejharuyk Monastery. The nearby village of Gorgoch is also included in the community of Meghradzor.
