==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.
