History
This family with a number of different family names origins in the north-eastern Iranian city of Sabzevar, but it's known history is based largely on those generations living in and building the central Iranian town of Mahallat.
In the time that Nader Khan (later to be Nader Shah) was fighting the Afghan occupation force in Iran, two brothers of the local aristocracy of Sabzevar offered their service, and that of their small private army, to the famous general. Their idea was to join the fight to free the province of Khorassan of Afghan rule. Nader Khan accepted the service offered by these two brothers, but instead of letting them fight in Khorassan he ordered them to join the forces protecting the capital city of Esfahan. Their task was to protect the city from intrusions from the north-west, especially to block and protect the roads in the valley of the region of Mahallat. The two brothers, Safar Ali Khan and Haj Nazar Ali Khan (Nazr-e Ali), sold their estates in Sabzevar to some relatives, took their families, servants and soldiers, and settled in the Mahallat area.
Mahallat until then had comprised of two settlements: Mahallat-e Bala and Mahallat-e Pain. In between there were meadows, that were not yet cultivated because these lands were full of stones, big and small. With the attack of the Afghans some years earlier the town of Boloukan, laying just next to Mahallat-e Bala, had been destroyed completely, although the citizens had put up a very brave fight. Most of them were killed during the seize and afterwards, some had managed to escape to a cave in the nearby mountains. It is said that the people in the cave managed to kill some Afghan soldiers, who were sent by their commander Azad Khan into this deep and dark cave, and that as a result of this Azad Khan had ordered the cave to be blocked by stones. The people in the cave were trapped and died of starvation. In the later nineteenth century this cave and the gruesome contents were discovered.
The town of Mahallat itself was spared, but a few years later, when the Afghans were leaving the province, Azad Khan came again to the area with the intention of sacking Mahallat. The town, however, was successful in defending itself against the Afghans. Fighting had come as far as into the streets of Mahallat, where even the women and children had joined their husbands and fathers fighting the Afghans. In the end the Afghans gave up, many Afghan soldiers having lost their lives, and continued their journey. Of course the whole area suffered tremendously and the lands and many villages were devestated.
This was the situation when Safar Ali Khan and Haj Nazar Ali Khan came to the area. They had to build a castle and work the fields for feeding their families, soldiers and servants. The two brothers settled in the uncultivated area between the two Mahallats, building their castle (ghaleh) just south of Mahallat-e Bala. They had to buy the uncultivated lands from government and put their men to the enormous task of clearing the fields of stones and make the land ready for agriculture.
After some decades the castle they had built (called Ghaleh Haj Ali Khani) became very crowded and a son of Haj Nazar Ali Khan, called Amir Khan, decided to build a castle a bit more to the south, in the middle between Mahallat-e Bala and Mahallat-e Pain. First he had to build a ghanat, an irrigation system, taking water from a mountain spring to the east of Mahallat for kilometres underground to the area where he wanted to build his castle. However, this ghanat did not bring water in the summer and people asked "Key ab darad (Kiab)?" (When has it got water?). Amir Khan improved the ghanat so that clear and good water was delivered constantly, but the name of Kiab stayed. After this he could build his castle (called Ghaleh Bozorg, Ghaleh Kiab or Ghaleh Haj Amir Khan). Later the neighbourhood built around the castle was called Mahallat-e Ghaleh Kiab and is is still called by this name.
A few years later Amir Khan went to Mecca and became Haj Amir Khan. He built villages and turned deserts into agricultural lands. He was responsible for the safety of the area and was chosen as kalantar (burgomaster) of Mahallat.
The castle of Haj Amir Khan had one big gate in the south wall. The walls had a height of 5 meters (called hafte chineh) and the castle had four towers of about 7 meters. Enough supplies (water and food) would be stored in the castle, in case of any possible attack. The houses within the castle were all built in the same fashion. At the north and west sides of the castle were bigger and smaller rooms where Haj Amir Khan and his family used to live. Every two rooms had a corridor and a sandoghkhaneh. The balakhaneh would be used for storage of extra furniture and supplies of barley, corn, wallnuts etcetera. The north builing had two big eyvans and these were two stories high. Behind these eyvans there was a big hall, that was reserved to receive important visitors. The water of the ghanat would come to the hozkhaneh bozorg called Sar Khanbar, which, in summer, was also used to store dairy products and fruits, and on shelves big jars with abghoureh, vinegar, sirop and jams. At the east side of the castle were the two story houses for the gardeners, stable hands and domestic servants. The peasants and farm-hands did not live in the castle but in the neighbourhood of Deh Bala. At the south side of the castle were situated the stables (barbandha and hesarha). Horses, cows and sheep all had seperate stables. The rooms of Haj Amir Khan and his family had beautiful stucco ceilings and chimneys, the ceilings of the other houses were made of timber and basir. The walls of the houses of the family were all plastered and had expensive wooden doors and windows with brightly colloured glas with illustrations. The rooms were furnished with beautiful carpets and curtains, coperware and earthenware. In the castle was also a dast-e asiab, a mill turned by hand.
Haj Amir Khan, although he lived in relative comfort, was not a seeker of pleasure. He had a reputation of honesty, hard working and was known to be a truely religious man. The only pleasure he indulged in was hunting. For safeguarding Mahallat, the roads and villages he kept several soldiers on horseback.
When he was above seventy years old he took his youngest son, Band-e Ali (he was called this way because of his love for Hazrat Ali), on pelgrimage to kerbala and Najaf. As it was, that happened to be the year that the vahabi movement attacked the holy places in Iraq and the intended to destroy the tomb of Hazrat Hossein. Haj Amir Khan died, defending the tomb in white pelgrim clothes, on April 28 1801. The motawali of the shrine -out of respect- ordered Haj Amir Khan to be buried at the gate to the shrine (nowadays the Eyvan-e Tala). The motawali said that Imam Hossein had appeared in his dream saying: "among the martyrs is an old man, a stranger, who gave his life out of love for me, and this man must be buried at the entrance to the haram". His son Band-e Ali was only eight years old and after the death of is father he wandered in the streets of Kerbala. For two days he did not eat and then he went to a warehouse for grain and date-palm leaf. There he was found by an old man, who took him into his house. The wife of that old man took care of the young boy for one year, before other pelgrims from Mahallat could take Band-e Ali home.
After the death of Haj Amir Khan the family started building more castles very near to the Ghaleh Kiab or Bozorg. Haj Mohammad Hossein built a castle next to it. Haj Zeinolabedin built a castle to the east of Ghaleh Bozorg and this castle had two strong towers. Haj Ali Asghar Arbab and his brother Arbab Mohammad Hashem built the Ghaleh No castle to the northwest of the Ghaleh Bozorg and Abollah Soltan built his castle to the northeast of the Ghaleh Bozorg. The last ghaleh was built in 1299 ghamari by Arbab Haj Ali Asghar, but because of his death the castle was never completed. Haj Band-e Ali and Haj Ali Asghar built a bathhouse (hamam) and mosque in this area and later Mohasseb-e Divan built a yakhchal (ice-house) and another hamam. The hamam of Mohasseb-e Divan was made into a vaqf and is still there.
Much of the above is from the 'Tarikh-e Mahallat' (History of Mahallat) by the late Amir Houshang Khosrovani, written in the 1950s and 1960s.
