History
Today's Khash is located near the old city of Khash, which dates back to the reign of Nader Shah. During the Sasanian era, an area called Washt was mentioned in modern Baluchistan in the area of Khash, which shows that the history of this city goes back to the ancient times and the old city of Khash dates back to the pre-Islamic era.
In the past, Khash was the military (and political) center of the region, and from 1307 to 1320, the province were under control of military rulers. All the governors and prefects were military, that's why many important offices were located in Khash, and Zahedan was nominally the central seat of government and the capital of Sistan and Baluchistan province from 1310 onwards, but Khash was officially more important.
