History

After the 2016 census, Sarchehan District was separated from Bavanat County in the establishment of Sarchehan County, which was divided into two districts of two rural districts each, with Korehi as its capital.[2]

After formation of the county, Hesami Rural District was created in the Central District, and Tujerdi Rural District was separated from it in the formation of Tujerdi District, which was divided into two rural districts including the new Marvashkan Rural District. The capital of the Central District was moved from Korehi to Hesami.[4] In addition, the villages of Bagh Safa[5] and Tujerdi[6] were elevated to city status.
