In the 1920s, the entirety of Elahiyeh was composed of just three estates that were previously possessions of a
Qajar noble. The lands of Elahieh, historically known as Khorazin, were once owned by Mohtaram-od-Dowleh, the wife of
Amin-od-Dowleh. In 1286 AH (Islamic calendar), Mirza Jafar Hakim Elahi purchased six plots of land in
Khalazir or Khorazin from the heirs of Mirza Hossein Tajrishi and Molla Mohammad Ali Tajrishi over three separate transactions. Later, these lands were named Elahieh after his ownership. Historically, the Elahieh area, previously called Khalazir or Khorazin, was not an independent village but was considered part of
Zargandeh. During the reign of
Naser al-Din Shah Qajar, a matchstick factory was established in this area by Mirza Ali Khan Amin-od-Dowleh, the Qajar prime minister. Three notable gardens are located in this neighborhood: the Oil Company Garden, the German Embassy Garden, and the Turkish Embassy Garden. The Oil Company Garden was initially owned by Mirza Mohammad Amin Daftar, the Mustofi of Khamsa, who established a flower garden there. After his death, it was passed to his wife, Fatemeh Khanum, the daughter of Asaf-od-Dowleh, governor of Khorasan, who sold it to the Anglo-Persian Oil Company. == Notable areas ==
