Ayrichay is the name of one of the rivers in the Kavar region. Karvansara (Karvansaray) was subordinate to the Garanlig region. After the war between Tsarist Russia and the Ottoman Empire in 1828–1830, Azerbaijanis who were displaced from the banks of the Ayrichay came to the village of Karvansara and settled there compactly, establishing the second neighborhood, the Ayrichaylilar neighborhood.
On page 12 of the “Iravan Province Property Register” approved by Ahmad Shah Mehmet Khan oglu on April 12, 1728, the village was presented under the name Dilanchi, and relevant notes were made that its annual tax to the sultan's treasury was determined at 6890 agchas. In 1831, the village was registered under the name "Karvansaray". At that time, the village had a population of 168 Turks.

Korkodyan with reference to official statistics, it is clear that this indicator increased to 205 people in 1886, 310 in 1897, 418 in 1904, and 623 in 1914. In 1918, Armenian Dashnak troops burned the village to the ground. Armenians were resettled in the village in 1928–1930.
