History
The city was originally called Lar after the person who had first established the city. Lar (لاڑ) is the name of one of Shahnameh's famous heroes. Around the 16th and 17th centuries, Lar was considered to be a major stop along the road to the Persian Gulf when it was under the Miladian dynasty.
In the early part of the 17th century, Larestani people migrated to Arab states in the Persian Gulf in significant numbers, migrating to Qatar, the UAE, Bahrain, and Kuwait. Some have surname as "Lari" or "Al Lari" along with many other family and tribal names.
