History

After the 2011 National Census, Jeygaran and Sarqaleh Rural Districts were transferred from Salas-e Babajani County to the Central District. Qaleh Shahin Rural District was separated from the district in the formation of Qaleh Shahin District, including the new Sarab-e Qaleh Shahin Rural District.[5]

After the 2016 census, Dasht-e Zahab, Jeygaran, Posht Tang, and Sarqaleh Rural Districts were separated from the Central District in the formation of Dasht-e Zahab District. In addition, several villages merged to create the village of Kuik.[6]

Archaeological findings

Archaeologists published in the journal Antiquity in August 2019 about the discovery of a defensive wall named "Gawri wall" or "Gawri Chen Wall" which was found near the present-day Iranian-Iraqi border and stretched about 115 kilometers. It is estimated that the wall was built during the rule of the Parthians or Sasanians.[9][10]

According to Sajjad Alibeigi, "With an estimated volume of approximately one million cubic meters of stone, it would have required significant resources in terms of workforce, materials and time. Remnants of structures, now destroyed, are visible in places along the wall. These may have been associated turrets [small towers] or buildings."[11][12]
