Bandar Lengeh township is
1631 km. far from Tehran.The climate of this city is hot and humid.To a
great extend, "Gougana" port was today Bandar Lengeh which was very
important commercial port in Achaemenian era, but due to historical
transformation its briskness decreased.
In the year 1760 AD., Javasem Arabs of southern coasts of the Persian
Gulf, occupied Qeshm island and Bandar Lengeh through extensive migration.
In the time of Karim Khan Zand (1743-1773), marine communication
facilities in the Persian Gulf caused considerable commercial prosperity
in this port and improved more due to Shiraz caravan road.
In Ghajar time, this city was famous as the Bride of Iran’s ports. Till
1896 AD., Jasem Arabs had domination over this port. In 1889, French
Consulate was established in Bandar Lengeh and customs of Bandar Abbas and
Bandar Lengeh were administered by Belgians. In 1898 AD., one of the
governmental families of Bandar Lengeh, due to weakness of the central
government, took the power but after a short time he was dismissed.
In the late Ghajar time, Bandar Lengeh fell into decay and since beginning
of World War I till the end of World war II (1945), due to the outbreak of
contagious diseases and famine, the city lost its real features. Today,
Bandar Lengeh is a thriving city and commercial activities are developing
over there.
