Changes in Bahman's Administration
Cities and regions sometimes change how they are organized. This happened for Bahman in July 2018.
- Before 2018, Bahman was part of a different administrative area.
- In July 2018, the city of Bahman and the rural areas around it were officially separated. They became their own new administrative area called the Bahman and Soghad District. This change means Bahman now has a more central role in managing its own district.
