The name is also used for the district in which it is situated and for the [[Bakhtegan Lake]]. The town was located on its shores, but because of the shrinkage of the [[salt lake (geography)|salt lake]] it is now to its southeast. In the nineteenth century some of the Neyriz inhabitants were [[Bábís]], and were persecuted by the government.
