Some

Babakan. In the year 1000 AD., one of the Sheikhs of Omman called Mohammad,
conquered Hormoz port by making use of dissatisfaction of people from the
ruler of that time.
In 1300 AD., a group of Mongol variors attacked this city. The Emir
(governor) of Hormoz accompanying with the residents migrated to Present
Hormoz island.
In the years 1793-1804 AD., Sultan of Omman (Sultan Ebn-e-Ahmad), imposed
his sovereignty over Gouvater. He took precaution against facing with Iran,
but tried to take the control of Bandar Abbas and Minab in his hands. At
this time, Agha Mohammad Khan Ghajar, due to internal clashes, has no
opportunity to strengthening his power over the south of Iran, so the
sovereignty of Qeshm and Hormoz was put under the care of Omman ruler. In
1852, a treaty was concluded according to which, Iranian lands, coasts and
islands as well as Minab city were returned to Iran.
Present Minab is a developed and thriving city susceptible for agricultural
activities in the province. Hezareh (Bimono) castle is the most important
historical monument of this city.
