At the time of the 2006 National Census, the population was 128 in 34 households, when it was the village of Mohammadad-e Gonbaki in Gonbaki Rural District of the former Rigan District of Bam County.[7] The village did not appear in the census of 2011,[8] by which time the rural district had been separated from the county in the establishment of Rigan County and was transferred to the new Gonbaki District.[9] The 2016 census measured the population as 7,210 people in 1,869 households,[2] when Mohammadabad-e Gonbaki had merged with six villages to become the city of Gonbaki.[6]

In 2023, the district was separated from the county in the establishment of Gonbaki County. Gonbaki was transferred to the new Central District as the county's capital.[4]
