History
After the 2006 National Census, Hiduj and Sib and Suran Districts were separated from Saravan County in the establishment of Sib and Suran County, which was divided into two districts of two rural districts each, with Suran as its capital.
After the 2016 census, Shandan Rural District was established in the Central District, and Paskuh Rural District was separated from it in the formation of Paskuh District, including the new Sar Sureh Rural District. Additionally, the village of Sib was elevated to the status of a city.{{cite report|title=Letter of approval regarding national divisions in Sib and Suran and Mehrestan Counties in Sistan and Baluchestan province|language=fa|website=qavanin.ir|via=Laws and Regulations Portal of the Islamic Republic of Iran|url=https://qavanin.ir/Law/PrintText/293677|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230414132531/https://qavanin.ir/Law/PrintText/293677|last=Jahangiri|first=Ishaq|archive-date=14 April 2023|publisher=Ministry of the Interior, Council of Ministers|date=c. 2023|orig-date=Approved 13 April 1400|id=Proposal 192882|access-date=14 April 2023}}
