History

Bandar Ganaveh is the place where the Persian warlord, and founder of the Qarmatian State Abu Sa'id al-Jannabi originated from.Madelung, Wilferd (1983).

London and New York: Routledge & Kegan Paul. pp. 380–381. {{ISBN|978-0-7100-9093-5}}Carra de Vaux, B. & Hodgson, M. G. S. (1965).

Ganaveh was historically famous for its pearl fishing and tiraz production, but it seems to have already been in decline by the 10th century.{{cite book |last=Christensen |first=Peter |date=1993 |title=The decline of Iranshahr: irrigation and environments in the history of the Middle East, 500 BC to AD 1500. |publisher=Museum Tusculanum Press |page=175 |isbn=9781838609351 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=5-iWDwAAQBAJ}} The reason may have been because of the Qarmatian wars, or perhaps because of the lack of water supplies. It had been the port of Bishapur and then Kazerun.

Demographics

The people of ganave are Lurs who speak the Southern Luri dialect. Located on the Persian Gulf coast, they share cultural and linguistic ties with the Lurs of Kohgiluyeh, Boyer-Ahmad, and Bakhtiari. Their dialect, distinct from Persian, is a key branch of Southwestern Iranian languages. Despite modern influences, Ganaveh’s Luri identity remains strong.
