History
After the 2006 National Census, Ashar District was separated from the county in the formation 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.[6]
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.[3] In 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. Additionally, Sarbaz and Sarkur Rural Districts, and the city of Sarbaz, were transferred from Sarbaz District to the Central District.[3]
