Overview

The village of Zibad was ratified as the center of Zibad Rural District in 1945. In the past 50 years due to severe drought, the population has migrated to the cities. Zibad, meaning beautiful, was a famous ancient place in Shahnameh. According to Shahnameh Ferdowsi (around 1000 AD), it was the place of a famous war called Davazdah Rokh (12 Hero) between Iran and Turan. Zibad also has an ancient qanat that may be more than 1,600 years old.
