The city is 25km (16miles) south of Isfahan and about 100km (100miles) north of Shahrekord. It was built during the Shah of Iran period, and was home to the mostly Russian and other employees of the Zob Ahan factory, located near the city. The world's third-largest cement factory at the time, the Siman Sepahan Dizicheh or Siman Arya Dizicheh as it was called before the Iranian revolution, is also near the city.
