Dizbad-e Olya (Persian: دیزباد علیا)^[a] is a village in Zeberkhan Rural District^[4] of the Central District in Zeberkhan County, Razavi Khorasan province, Iran.

History

The historical background of Dizbad dates back to the year 714 AD. The name has changed many times throughout history. The oldest known name of Dizbad is Aspiduz (اسپیدوز), which includes the Persian words for horse and fort.

In the ninth century it was known as Qasr al-Rih (Arabic: قصر الریح) due to the Arab invasion. The origin of this name is due to the three forts that once served as a defense system, they signalled by smoke signals when enemies tried to invade. Only ruins of these forts remain. In later times, Dizbad was known as Chehel Ashkub (Persian: چهل اشکوب).

Due to its long history and cultural background, the identity of the people in this area has undergone many changes. One of the most impactful events that caused this cultural change was the opening of the Naser Khosrow School in 1939. The establishment of this school encouraged families to send their children to school, which had a positive effect and resulted in a growing number of children from the village graduating from school.
