The history of the city goes back to 1889 when Haj Mohammad Hassan Khan began development efforts in the city during the reign of Naser al-Din Shah Qajar. He undertook the construction of a mosque, a caravanserai (later a fortress), a port, a bathhouse, a commercial building, and residential structures. Some of the city's neighborhoods include: Tuska Mahalleh, Ahu Mahalleh, Talik Sar and Surakh Mazu (Sofla, Vosta and Olya).
