Our story of Taleen
Our story of Taleen is a story of an Armenian town. Talin sits under Mount Aragats and has a seventh-century cathedral, and Armenian naming took the place as a girls' name in the twentieth century. What the town's name itself means has not been recovered — many Armenian place names are older than the records that explain them. Taleen appears in American records with Armenian migration. That is the whole documented history.
