== Etymology == The name of the village is thought to come from the Rutul word ''хъар'' ("pit"), possibly referring to its location inside a large depression.
== History == The exact date of the settlement’s origin is unknown. It is believed to have appeared in the late 19th – early 20th centuries, when people from other villages, searching for favorable pastures, settled in Fartma.<ref name="Lavrov1962">Lavrov, L. I. "Rutuls in the past and present." In: ''Caucasian Ethnographic Collection'', vol. 3. Moscow–Leningrad: Academy of Sciences of the USSR, 1962, pp. 110–157. (in Russian).</ref> The first houses soon appeared. Inhabitants belonged to two tukhums — ''mitarar'' and ''manafar''.
In the 1960s, residents of Fartma and the nearby village of Natsma were resettled to Tsudik.<ref>Ibragimov, G. F. ''The Rutul language''. Moscow: Nauka, 1978. (in Russian).</ref> Later, the fields where the village once stood were cultivated by the collective farm "Red Partisan".
A 1962 source mentions Fartma as an offshoot of Myukhrek, along with Natsma.<ref name="Lavrov1962"/>
== Geography == The village was located on the slope of a mountain, at the winter pasture of Myukhrek. The area was well suited for agriculture and animal husbandry.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://rutnov.ru/2023/09/29/ischezayushhie-toponimy-nashej-maloj-rodiny-6/|title=The history of the vanished village of Fartma|website=Rutul News|date=2023-09-29|access-date=2024-03-04|language=ru|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240304213146/https://rutnov.ru/2023/09/29/ischezayushhie-toponimy-nashej-maloj-rodiny-6/|archive-date=2024-03-04|url-status=live|quote=(in Russian)}}</ref>
