History
The name first appears in cuneiform tablets from Mesopotamia from the Ur III period (21st to 20th century BCE) in the form "Adamshakh", with a probable meaning "Crocodile (Town)". Later it was called "Andamaska" or "Andimaska", meaning "plenty of butter"; local villages like Gheel-AB and Lour and two fortresses were added to it. The city was en route to Elam and Anshan and subsequently to Lorestan, which made it strategically important until the late Sasanian era.
In the Andimeshk region, an individual known as Saleh-Khan Mukri (a Kurd from Kermanshah and the ruler of Shushtar during the Qajar era) built several buildings, including a fortress, for his residence, which became known as Saleh Castle or Lor Castle. During the reign of Reza Shah Pahlavi and the construction of the Trans-Iranian Railway, Andimeshk railway station was built in the vicinity of Lor Castle, and Andimeshk gradually expanded with the start of construction around it.
At the same time, the American General Motors Company established a branch of its military automobile factory in this city. During the reign of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, with the arrival of numerous domestic and foreign companies, Andimeshk became an industrial city and thus hosted thousands of domestic and foreign doctors, engineers, employees and workers. It was during this period that Andimeshk traveled the path of expansion and progress
