== History ==
Historically, Baneh had a strategic and political importance due to its close proximity to the [[Ottoman Empire]]. The city was part of the three Kurdish principalities; [[Ardalan]], [[Baban]] and [[Mokryan]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal|last=Marduk|first=A.|date=1988|title=BĀNA|url=https://iranicaonline.org/articles/bana-a-sahrestan-in-the-province-of-kurdistan-located-in-a-mountainous-well-forested-region-of-western-iran-at-35-59-|journal=[[Encyclopedia Iranica]]}}</ref>
The old city had two [[citadel]]s and was generally ruled by the Eḵtīār-al-Dīn family who held both religious and secular power of the city. The family was held in high esteem during the [[Safavid Iran|Safavid]] era and received the title 'sultan'. Moreover, rulers of Baneh had the responsibility of protecting the whole area from [[Khoy]] to [[Kermanshah]]. In the 16th century, Mīrzā Beg b. Mīr Moḥammad became the first virtually independent ruler of Baneh and its surroundings.<ref name=":0" />
During the 18th and 19th centuries, the city was plagued with epidemics which killed a large portion of the population. In 1944, the city experienced turmoil as part of the [[Hama Rashid revolt]] and was also bombed by both parties during the [[Iran–Iraq War]] in the 1980s. Most locals fled to Iraq during the war and much of the region was destroyed.<ref name=":0" />
