A VERY NICE VILLAGE AT NORTH OF IRAN
THE BIRTHPLACE OF REZAKHAN (In the early stages of his life, Reza Shah was known as Reza Savad-Koohi, or Reza Khan because of his birth place. Later on, when he gained territory with his own army, he entitled himself Reza Khan, and later as Reza Khan Mirpanj, his full military title at the time. Upon becoming minister of war, he was known as Reza Khan Sardar Sepah, which in Persian roughly means Reza Khan, head of the armed forces. Upon securing his position as the Shah of Persia, he chose the surname Pahlavi (surnames did not exist in Persia before this date, and were introduced as one of the modernization measures during his reign).
