Darab County (Persian: شهرستان داراب) is in Fars province, Iran. Its capital is the city of Darab.

History

Legend ascribes the foundation of the city to Darius, hence its name Darab-gerd ("Darius-fort").

In the neighborhood there are various remains of antiquity, the most important of which mi. S., is known as the Kalah i Dal-a, or citadel of Darius, and consists of a series of earthworks arranged in a circle round an isolated rock. Nothing, however, remains to fix the date or explain the history of the fortification. Another monument in the vicinity is a gigantic bas-relief, carved on the vertical face of a rock, representing the victory of the Sassanian Shapur I (Sapor) of Persia over the Roman emperor Valerian, A.D. 260.

After the 2006 National Census, Qaleh Biyaban and Qaryah ol Kheyr Rural Districts, and the city of Jannat Shahr, were separated from the Central District in the formation of Jannat District. In addition, the villages of Do Borji and Fadami were elevated to city status.

After the 2016 census, Fasarud and Paskhan Rural Districts were separated from the Central District in the formation of Fasarud District. The villages of Rostaq and Paskhan rose to city status in 2018 and 2022, respectively.
