History

In 1151 (A.H.), Nader Shah Afshar, after defeating the famous Ottoman general Topal Osman Pasha and conquering Baghdad, while passing through Uramanat in Kurdistan, south of Sanandaj, moved all the people of Paveh region, who were brave and warrior men, and at the same time, skilled shooters and gunpowder makers, towards Estarabad (Gorgan) to be both responsible for equipping his army and to establish a huge barrier against the Turkmens, who were raiding and looting Estarabad and its surroundings from time to time.

Nader shah placed the responsibility of the Paveh people on a person named Mirza Shafi Bey Paveh, and with the unity and cohesion of this clan, the Turkmens were defeated. After the suppression of the Turkmen by the Paveh people, Nader Shah did not allow them to return ( It is very likely that the elders of the Paveh people themselves did not want to return, because the lands that were given to them in Kurdkoy in exchange for their services were much more fertile and were better) and settled them in an area of Golestan that was later named Kurdkoi due to their Kurdish origin.

Kordkuy was a part of Gorgan until 1979 when it gained city status.
