From the 1920s until 1955, there was a [[Gharm Oblast]] in Tajikistan, which included the territory of the current Gharm Valley. Gharm is also the former name of the [[Rasht District]] in central Tajikistan.

==History==
During the 1920s Gharm was a hotbed for the [[Basmachi]], the anti-[[Soviet Union|Soviet]] resistance in [[Central Asia]]. In 1929 Basmachi commander [[Faizal Maksum]] crossed from Afghanistan into Tajikistan and briefly captured Gharm, only to later be expelled by Soviet forces.<ref name=jch>{{Cite journal |last=Ritter |first=William S |author-link=Scott Ritter |year=1990 |title=Revolt in the Mountains: Fuzail Maksum and the Occupation of Garm, Spring 1929 |journal=[[Journal of Contemporary History]] |volume=25 |issue=4 |pages= 547–580|doi=10.1177/002200949002500408 |s2cid=159486304 }}</ref><ref name=ss>{{Cite journal |last=Ritter |first=William S |author-link=Scott Ritter |year=1985 |title= The Final Phase in the Liquidation of Anti-Soviet Resistance in Tadzhikistan: Ibrahim Bek and the Basmachi, 1924-31 |journal=[[Soviet Studies]] |volume=37 |issue=4 |pages=484–493 |doi=10.1080/09668138508411604}}</ref>

During the [[Civil War in Tajikistan]] from 1992 to 1997, Gharm was a hotbed for the opposition force, and the town was controlled by the opposition during the later part of the civil war in Tajikistan. In October 2010, the Tajik [[Interior Ministry]] asserted it had killed three militants on the outskirts of Gharm amid an alleged rise in Islamic militancy in the region.<ref>{{cite news| url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-11565443 | work=BBC News | title=Tajikistan says restive east is under control | date=18 October 2010}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.rferl.org/content/Tajikistan_Says_Kills_Three_Suspected_Islamist_Militants/2193377.html|title = Tajikistan Kills 'Suspected Militants'}}</ref>
