History
In the 19th century, during the Qajar era, Lavasan was reportedly a large village, with some 500 houses and about 200 inhabitants.
Under Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, in the 1960s, a hydroelectric dam was built in the southeast of the village which is nowadays one of the water supplies of Tehran.
In the 1980s and during the Iran–Iraq War, it became well known during the War of the cities when many people from Tehran took refuge in the nearby towns such as Lavasan.
