==History== It was founded about 1,500 years ago, and was perhaps named after King Vache of Caucasian Albania. Vachi was famous for talented artisans: shoemakers, tailors, tinsmith, blacksmith who traveled to the lowlands of Dagestan and other regions of the Caucasus. In 1926, an elementary school opened in Vachi.
