History
Fars, from the eleventh century BC, has been the home of one of the tribes attributed to the Aryan, called Pars. The name of this province and the Persian Gulf, which was cut off from the provinces of Fars province in the year 1352, was transferred to the province of Bushehr, derived from the name of the same tribe.
