Archeological excavations in different parts of Shahrud Plain indicate the existence of villages in this area during 7-5 millennium BC.

Its pre-Islamic history is not clear, but according to some historians, it was built during Shapur II period (310-379 CE).

The town was visited by Nasser Khosrow Qubadiani, the Iranian poet of the 12th century, and mentioned by him as the center of the Qomis province.
