In 2018, Evaz District was separated from Larestan County in the establishment of Evaz County, which was divided into two districts of two rural districts each, with the city of Evaz as its capital.[2] The village of Kureh was elevated to the status of a city.[4]

The language spoken in Evaz originates from the ancient Persian dialect called Achomi [5] (Avazi). The majority of the people in Evaz follow the religion Islam Sunni despite being the minority in Iran who follow this belief.[6]
