Administrative Divisions of Bandar Lengeh County during the last Century

Like the other counties in Iran, Bandar Lengeh County has been gradually developed from the combination of various districts, rural districts, and villages. The proximity of Bandar Lengeh to the Persian Gulf has earned this county great historical and strategic importance. A study of the administrative divisions of Bandar Lengeh during the last 100 years shows that it was once a part of Fars (the seventh province of Iran) and Lar; once a part of the Governorate of the Ports and Islands of Oman, and finally a part of the Governorate of Bushehr and the Coastal Province of Ports and Islands, which later changed its name to Hormozgan Province. According to the National Census of 2011, Bandar Lengeh consists of four districts, eight rural districts, nine cities, and 174 villages.
