The village of Shishgaya is rich in monuments of the XIII-XIV centuries, which reflect the life and living conditions of Azerbaijanis. In the territory of the village, there are many scenic and sightseeing places, the names of which are Turkish toponyms. Among them, there are cross-stone historical monuments, which are written in the Grabar alphabet, which tell about the life of the Albanian Turks, and the hill religious monuments made of small red stones in the northern part of the village. Residents from neighboring villages also brought vows and made intentions to the monument, lit lamps and made wishes.
The village existed even before the reign of Shah Ismail Khatai. It is known that the villages of Sariyagub and Babajan were built by those who moved from Shishgaya. The fact that the management of the village of Sariyagub was entrusted by Shah Ismail to Miskin Abdal confirms the accuracy of this issue once again. Its name is mentioned in the sources of 1728. The main part of the population came from Khoy, Rum, Mazandaran, Diyarbakr, Isfahan governorates of South Azerbaijan and Nejili village of Ulukhanli region of Iravan mahal. The name of the village is related to the name of Shishgaya, which is located between the two mountains called Gojadagh and Garadagh, the height of which reaches 45-50 meters.
