It was the most populous village in its rural district.[2]

After the census, the village of Hezar Kanian was elevated to the status of a city.[9]

It has rapid growth in the main areas of agriculture. The location of the new city of Hezar Kanian can be explained and analyzed in many points: access location, geomorphological construction, economic foundations and population strategies, are more effective for the development of such settlements, which if the right policies are adopted, will cause the physical development of this new city. It is emphasized again that it is necessary to provide the ground for the sustainability of the population with a new functional definition and diversification of the urban economy.[citation needed]
