Near the city of Hadishahr is the ancient site of
Kul Tepe Jolfa, dating to the Chalcolithic period (5000–4500 BC). Occupation continued into the late Bronze Age. Pottery shards have been recovered from the Late Chalcolithic, Bronze Age and
Urartian periods. The early site belongs to the Early Trans-Caucasian or
Kura–Araxes culture, which spread through the Caucasus and the
Urmia Basin. ==Notable people==
