Situated in a river valley, Jermajur has historically been a resort town, attracting people from all over the USSR to be treated at mineral-springs baths.[2] The name Jermajur means "warm water" in Armenian language.

In 2018 it was reported that work has begun on a privately funded factory to produce mineral water.[2]
