In 2018, Darijan Rural District was established in the Central District; Deh Bakri Rural District was separated from the district in the establishment of Deh Bakri District, which was divided into two rural districts including the new Abareq Rural District;[7] and the village of Deh Bakri was renamed Deh Bid as the capital of the new district.[8]
