The building of Bushehr has been attributed to Ardeshir Sassanid, but the current Bushehr, which has a history of 150 years, was built by "Abu Mahiri" son of Sheikh Naser Khan (the captain of Nader Shah's ships) in the year 1500 AH. The reason for the establishment of this city was because Nader Shah wanted to build a port in the south and also to establish a navy[6]. This port became so prosperous that it was considered as a great competitor to the port of Basra.
