History

The modern village of Kazan is centered on the historically Assyrian village of Rāgūlā d'Sālābakkān.[5] also known as Salabagh.[6][7] According to Badger, the village contained 120 families in 1850,[8] in 1877 Cutts records 200 families in the village.[9]

The village was the home of the chiefs of the Lower Tyareh tribe until 1909[7], hence the Kurdish name of the village "Tîyar".
