The town was named Dord-Evlar (Dörd Evlər: which means ''the four houses'' in Azeri Turkic) because only four families were living there, when Islam entered there during Umar age, they converted to Islam. It is said that during Yazid Ibn Moavieh (Umavi Dynasty) ruling, the king of the region was requested to send army forces to fight with Husayn ibn Ali; some of the inhabitants started a departure, but in the southwest of the town in current location of municipality a man named Vouroush Qojasi (Pir-e Jangi, The Oldman of Battle) prevented them, while people killed him. Since then, this place has been known as Qoja-Vouroushchu or Pir-e Jangi. In the passion plays of the mourning month of Muharram (lunar calendar), people say the following: Oh, Hossein, some troops have departed from Khakhal, Ardabil and Zanjan, etc. Of course, it is more likely to be an imagination. The oldest educational center of the town named Hafez School was established in 1940 and its municipality was established on April 7, 1957. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kivi, Iran」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
