16th century map of Hamadan According to an inscription from the first Assyrian king, Hamadan's construction is dated at 1100 BC, but some historians believe it dates back to 3000 BC. Hamadan was established by the Medes and was the capital of the Median empire. It then became one of several capital cities of the Achaemenid Dynasty.

Hamadan a fost construit de mezi şi a fost capitala Imperiului lor (Ecbatana). Oraşul a devenit apoi una dintre capitalele dinastiei Ahemenide.
