History

After the 2016 census, Sarchehan District was separated from Bavanat County in the establishment of Sarchehan County, which was divided into three districts of two rural districts each, with the city of Korehi (later, Hesami) as its capital. The county was further divided later when Tujerdi Rural District was separated from the Central District to establish Tujerdi District, which was divided into two rural districts including the new Marvashkan Rural District. At the same time, Hesami Rural District was established in the Central District and the capital of the county was moved from Korehi to Hesami.

After formation of the county, the villages of Bagh Safa and Tujerdi were elevated to the status of cities.
