History

Summarize
Perspective

The municipality of Isfahan was founded in 1907. In that time, it was named Baladiyeh. The council of Baladiyeh appointed Haji Mohammad Ali Khan (The sheriff of Isfahan) as the chief of Baladiyeh, Mirza Mehdi Khan as the deputy and Mirza Abolhasan Khan for official services. But after two weeks, Haji Mohammad Ali Khan was replaced by Mirza Assadollah Vassigholmilk. Baladiyeh had at first only 25 members. In 1911, the Baladiyeh faced a financial crisis because of shortage of income and the chief of Baladieyeh resigned and council of Baladiyeh decided to decrease its range of activities and only look after the provisions of the city.

With the amendment of baladiyeh's law in 1930, the responsibility of choosing mayor was given to the Interior ministry.[3]

Until 1927, Isfahan had only two main streets, Charbagh-e Hezar Jarib street and Charbagh-e Abbassi street, and several broad alleys. from 1935 after giving more powers to the municipality of Isfahan, the municipality decided to rebuild new streets and so Foroughi street, Modarres street, Jomhouri square, Bozorgmehr street and Soroush street were built and the neighborhoods Hatef, hafez, Sepah and Neshat were changed gradually to streets. In 1941 with allocating oil income to the municipality and increasing its income, the streets of Isfahan were asphalted and several garbage trucks were purchased.

In 2023 Isfahani workers were deployed to clean Iraqi cities.[4]
