In 2021, Jarqavieh Olya and Jarqavieh Sofla Districts were separated from Isfahan County in the establishment of Jarqavieh County, which was divided into two districts of two rural districts each, with Nikabad as its capital.
The Shast-Sheshi festival is held annually in the region. The festival corresponds in date and function to the pre-Islamic Zoroastrian feast of Khordadgan, dedicated to the divinity Khordad, the female guardian of water.
