History
Dezful is one of Khuzestan province's oldest cities. According to excavations by the German historian and archaeologist Walther Hinz, Awan (capital of the first dynasty of Elam, the Awan dynasty) was located in Dezful.
The name Dezfūl is believed to be associated with a Sasanian bridge constructed over the Āb-e Dez by Shapur II. The Sasanians also built a fortress in close proximity to protect the bridge. This area, encompassing the bridge and the fortress, eventually evolved into the city of Dež-Pol or Dezfūl, although this name was not commonly used until the 12th century.
In the 10th century, the writer Eṣṭaḵrī referred to it as Qanṭarat-al-Andāmeš. It was also known as Qaṣr al-Rūnāš. The stone foundation of the bridge is still visible, while the upper part underwent several brick reconstructions during the early Islamic, Saljuq, and Qajar periods. In the 14th century, Ḥamd-Allāh Mostāwfī described it as 520 paces long and 15 paces wide, with forty-two arches. Šaraf-al-Dīn Yazdī, who visited the area in 795/1393, also provided a detailed description.
The Ranashi Dynasty was centered in Dezful from its foundation until its fall in 1542/3 (949 AH). The Dynasty was a vassal of the Safavid Empire from 1508 to 1514.
