History

edit

After the 2006 National Census, Ashar District was separated from the county in the establishment of Zaboli County.[a] Murtan and Parud Rural Districts were separated from the Central District in the establishment of Parud District. Zardban Rural District was created in Pishin District, and Jakigur Rural District was separated from it to join the Central District.[5]

After the 2016 census, Rask and Firuzabad Rural District, the city of Rask, Parud District, and Pishin District were separated from the county in the establishment of Rask County.

In September 2018, Kishkur, Minan, and Naskan Rural Districts were separated from Sarbaz District to create three districts of the same names, each with a new rural district: Machan, Kazur, and Balochi, respectively. Sarbaz and Sarkur Rural Districts, and the city of Sarbaz, were transferred from Sarbaz District to the Central District.[3]
