History

After the 2006 National Census, Haftkel District was separated from the county in the establishment of Haftkel County.[4]

As a result, four new rural districts were created: Jereh, Mamatin, Rostamabad, and Seh Tolun.[5]

After the 2016 census, the villages of Bavaj,[6] Rud Zard-e Mashin,[7] and Soltanabad[8] were elevated to city status.
