List of governors of Qazvin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The office of the governor of Qazvin (Persian: حاکم قزوین) was a historical office whose holders were tasked with the governance of the city and region of Qazvin. The administrative unit of Qazvin included most of today's Qazvin province, sometimes including or excluding parts such as Taleqan, Alamut, Tarom, Soltaniyeh and Savojbolagh. The office was not hereditary and the governors were assigned directly by the Shah.
The governors of Qazvin were seated in the Safavid royal complex during Safavid dynasty and later governments.
The office was replaced with the Ostandar of Qazvin (Persian: استاندار قزوین) after the Qajar dynasty.
