The online edition of the Dehkhoda Dictionary, quoting Iranian Army files, reports a population of 261 people in late 1940s. At that time the pastures on the Chaparli mountain range on the south-east of the village was the summer quarter of the Derilou branch of Mohammad Khanlu tribe, which in the wake of White Revolution included 40 households. The number has dropped over years and in recent years, about 20 families pitch their tents in the area, albeit mainly for escaping the unpleasantly hot climate of Derilou village.
