After the 2006 National Census, Mizdej-e Sofla Rural District and the city of Junqan were separated from the Central District in the formation of Junqan District, which was divided into two rural districts, including the new Junqan Rural District.[4] In addition, the village of Pardanjan became a city,[5] and Babaheydar District was formed and divided into Sarab-e Olya and Sarab-e Sofla Rural Districts.[4]

After the 2011 census, the city of Babaheydar was transferred from the Central District to Babaheydar District, and the villages of Cholicheh and Gujan rose to city status.[6] After the 2016 census, the village of Filabad was also elevated to the status of a city.[7]
