History
In the classical era, part of the territory of present-day this city was occupied by Rhages, a prominent Median city. It was subject to destruction through the medieval Arab, Turkic, and Mongol invasions. Its modern-day inheritor remains as an urban area absorbed into the metropolitan area of Greater.
This crowd city was first chosen as the capital of Iran by Agha Mohammad Khan of the Qajar dynasty in 1796, in order to remain within close reach of Iran's territories in the Caucasus, before being separated from Iran as a result of the Russo-Iranian Wars, and to avoid the vying factions of the previously ruling Iranian dynasties. The capital has been moved several times throughout the history, and this big city is the 32nd national capital of Iran. Large scale demolition and rebuilding began in the 1920s, and the capital city has been a destination for mass migrations from all over Iran since the 20th century.
