History
In 1831, Yoḥannan, Church of the East bishop of Anzel, resided at Jamalabad instead of Gavlan, which had customarily been the residence of the bishop of Anzel. There were 33 Church of the East families who were served by one priest and the Church of Mār Yōḥannān at Jamalabad in 1862. By 1877, the village was inhabited by 15 Church of the East families and with no priests and one functioning church. Jamalabad was attacked by Kurds in May and June 1908, at which time a small unit of Iranian troops was stationed there. In 1914, the village was populated by 300 Assyrians households. It had a mixed population of Christians and Muslims.
