History

The city was previously known as Aliabad. With the Pahlavi dynasty, the city changed its name to Shahi in honor of Reza Shah, who was born in Alasht, a village close by. The county was renamed to Qaem Shahr after the 1979 revolution. Qaemshahr is located in the junction of the two major transit roads of Haraz and Firûzkûh, which connect Mazandaran to the capital of Iran, Tehran.

After the 2011 National Census, Kiakola District was separated from the county in the establishment of Simorgh County.{{cite report|title=Approval letter regarding national divisions in Mazandaran province|language=fa|website=rc.majlis.ir|via=Islamic Parliament Research Center of the Islamic Republic of Iran|url=https://rc.majlis.ir/fa/law/show/828427|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171222074144/https://rc.majlis.ir/fa/law/show/828427|publisher=Ministry of the Interior, Council of Ministers|last=Rahimi|first=Mohammad Reza|archive-date=22 December 2017|date=1 January 2016|orig-date=Approved 29 September 1391|access-date=14 January 2024|id=Proposal 121434/42/4/1; Notification 213858/T48692H}} The village of Qadi Kola-ye Arateh merged with four other villages to form the city of Arateh.{{cite web|title=Two new cities were added to the map of national divisions|language=fa|website=dolat.ir|via=Secretariat of the Government Information Council|url=https://dolat.ir/detail/204465|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200803151816/https://dolat.ir/detail/204465|publisher=Ministry of the Interior, Political and Defense Commission|archive-date=3 August 2020|date=7 June 1402|orig-date=Approved 4 August 2019|access-date=13 March 2024}}
