The upper quarters make the arms canting and recall the legendary foundation of the town. Dedoplis Tskaro was part of the Georgian historical province of Kambechovani; in the 17th-18th centuries, the province had 70,000-80,000 inhabitants, 10,000-15,000 of them living in the fortified town of Khornabuji. The town was renamed Dedoplis Tskaro (The Queen's Spring) after a visit of Queen Tamar; after having enjoyed water coming from a spring located uphill - subsequently known as Tamar's Spring - , the Queen ordered to build a clay pipe network to bring water to the downtown without damaging the spring.
