History
Malayer, a city in western Iran, has a rich history dating back to ancient and pre-Islamic times. Originally known as Dowlatabad, it was renamed Malayer in the early 20th century, marking a shift in administrative and cultural significance.
The city gained prominence during the Seljuk and Safavid eras as a key center for rug production. Its strategic location along historic trade routes contributed to its cultural diversity, reflected in the variety of designs found in Malayer rugs. Additionally, Malayer has been notable for its craftsmanship, particularly in rug-weaving and woodworking traditions.
During the Persian famine of 1917–1919, Malayer, like many other regions in Iran, experienced severe food shortages and hardship. The community faced challenges in sustaining local resources, significantly affecting the population.
Following the Anglo-Soviet invasion of Iran during World War II, Malayer came under British control. This occupation impacted local agriculture and resources, contributing to the economic and social conditions of the time.
