History

After the 2016 census, Tabas Rural District was separated from the Central District in the formation of Now Deh-e Anqolab District, including the new Now Deh-e Anqolab Rural District.{{cite report|title=Approval regarding national divisions in Khoshab County, Razavi Khorasan province|language=fa|website=sdil.ac.ir|via=Shahr Danesh Legal Research Institute|url=https://sdil.ac.ir/آخرین-مصوبات-هیئت-دولت-دهه-دوم-تیر-98/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190727202526/https://sdil.ac.ir/آخرین-مصوبات-هیئت-دولت-دهه-دوم-تیر-98/|publisher=Ministry of the Interior, Cabinet of Ministers|last=Jahangiri|first=Ishaq|archive-date=27 July 2019|orig-date=Approved 29 March 1398|id=Proposal 186144; Notification 37249/T56153AH|date=22 July 2019|access-date=29 January 2025}} The villages of Now Deh-e Arbab{{cite news|title=The Minister of the Interior agreed to turn the village of Now Deh-e Anqolab into a city|language=fa|website=tahlilbazaar.com|url=https://www.tahlilbazaar.com/news/24675/وزیر-کشور-با-تبدیل-روستای-نوده-انقلاب-به-شهر-موافقت-کرد|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230502195607/https://www.tahlilbazaar.com/news/24675/وزیر-کشور-با-تبدیل-روستای-نوده-انقلاب-به-شهر-موافقت-کرد|archive-date=2 May 2023|publisher=Ministry of the Interior|last=Fazli|first=Abdolreza Rahmani|date=27 June 1399|access-date=2 May 2023}} and Meshkan{{cite news|title=Notification of the approval of the Ministry of the Interior regarding the conversion of Meshkan village, the center of Meshkan District, Khoshab County, into a city|language=fa|website=dotic.ir|via=Laws and Regulations Portal of Iran|url=https://dotic.ir/news/1679|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230502200739/https://dotic.ir/news/1679|last=Fazli|first=Abdolreza Rahmani|archive-date=2 May 2023|publisher=Ministry of the Interior|date=17 December 2016|access-date=2 May 2023|id=Letter 33667/59806}} were elevated to city status.
