History
In the middle ages, Narmashir was one of the major cities of Kerman, but it was not at its present location — the ruins at the nearby village of Choghukabad are the most likely candidate for the site of medieval Narmashir. The medieval geographers al-Muqaddasi, Yaqut al-Hamawi, and Hamdallah Mustawfi described medieval Narmashir as a large and prosperous town on the main trade route connecting Kerman with Sistan. Merchants travelling between Oman and Khorasan did business here, and there was also a market for Indian goods. The town was walled, with four gates and a citadel, and there was a congregational mosque built of fired brick. Narmashir was one of the five kuras (districts) of Kerman during this period. Sometime between Mustawfi's account in the 14th century, Narmashir became abandoned; European travellers in the 19th century found no trace of it.
