History

edit

After the 2006 National Census, Golzar Rural District, and later the city of Golzar, were separated from the Central District in the establishment of Golzar District, which was divided into two rural districts, including the new Shirinak Rural District. Negar Rural District, and later the city of Negar, were also separated from the Central District to form Negar District, which was divided into two rural districts, including the new Narp Rural District. The village of Lalehzar was elevated to the status of a city.[4]

After the 2011 census, the village of Dashtkar also rose to city status.[5]
