The history of settlement in this area dates back to prehistoric times, with the discovery of Oraman documents confirming the existence of Assyrian, Med, Achaemenid, and Greek rule. The oldest traces of human habitation were found in archaeological surveys and excavations around the village of Hajij and date back to the Paleolithic period, which, according to archaeologists, is more than 40,000 to about 12,000 years old. The stepped architecture of Oraman has shaped the village's impressive houses and terraces into a pyramid-like shape, with an ancient castle at the top of this pyramid.
