History
[edit]In 1831, Yoḥannan, Church of the East bishop of Anzel, resided at Jamalabad instead of Gavlan, which had customarily been the residence of the bishop of Anzel.[2] There were 33 Church of the East families who were served by one priest and the Church of Mār Yōḥannān at Jamalabad in 1862.[5] By 1877, the village was inhabited by 15 Church of the East families and with no priests and one functioning church.[6] Jamalabad was attacked by Kurds in May and June 1908, at which time a small unit of Iranian troops was stationed there.[7] In 1914, the village was populated by 300 Assyrians households.[3] It had a mixed population of Christians and Muslims.[8]
