Before Islam, the city of Bishapur was one of the capitals of the Sasanian Empire and the center of the current region of Kazerun. When it was destroyed by the invading Arab Muslims, its Persian residents migrated to the city of Kazerun.
Persian mythology attributes the foundation of the city of Kazerun to the Pishdadian dynasty and Tahmuras, more than 7,500 years ago.
Historical accounts also tell of the expansion of this city by Shapur I and Kavad I, two Sasanian kings.
The people of the Kazerun and Shapur regions once rebelled and declared their independence from the Rashidun Caliphate after the Arab conquest of the region. The rebellion, led by a Sassanid nobleman, was severely suppressed.
