Hamadan has a distinguished place among all historical cities of [[Iran]].Some historians believe that Hamadan's construction dates back to 3000 BCEBC and according to an inscribtion from first [[Assyrian]] king , it is attributed to 1100 BCEBC.

Hamadan was one of the multiple capital cities of the [[Achaemenid Dynasty]] and it has been referred to by several name variations throughout its long history, namely: ''Hagmatana'' ([[Old Persian]]), ''[[Ecbatana]]'' ([[Greek language|classical Greek]] rendition of ''Hagmatana'') and several corruptions or mispronounciations of the previous two in subsequent centuries.
