History
[edit | edit source]After the 2006 National Census, Khondab District was separated from the county in the establishment of Khondab County.[5] Masumiyeh and Moshkabad Rural Districts were separated from the Central District in the formation of Masumiyeh District, and the village of Karchan was elevated to the status of a city. Saruq Rural District was also separated from the Central District to form Saruq District, including the new Mashhad ol Kubeh Rural District. Hajjiabad Rural District was created in the Central District,[6] and the village of Saruq became a city.[7]
After the 2011 census, the cities of Karahrud and Senjan were merged with the city of Arak.[8]
