Here is the meanings of Sistan city and also a short Islamic and Pre islamic History is given below,,,Sistan derives its name from Sakastan, which Sistan was once the westernmost part of. The name Sakastan, on its part, derives from Old Persian zaranka ("waterland"; cf. Pashto dzaranda). This older form is also the root of the name Zaranj, capital of the Afghan Nimruz Province.In the Shahnameh, Sistan is also referred to as Zabulistan, after Zabol, a city in the region. In Ferdowsi's epic, Zabulistan is in turn described to be the homeland of the mythological hero Rostam.Sistan was invaded and conquered by expeditions from Kirman . The Muslim conquest of Sistan began in 23( 643/644) when Asim b Amr and Abdullah b Umar made an incursion and seized Zarang. The Sistanis concluded a treaty with the Muslims , to the effect that they should pay Kharaj . The commander of a Muslim army camped in Kirman Abd Allah B Amir sent Al Rabi B Ziyad (In Tarikh i Sistan it is Al Ziyalap-28) al Hinithi to Sistan .In prehistoric times, the Jiroft Civilization covered parts of Sistan and Kerman Province (possibly as early as the 3rd millennium BC).
Later the area was occupied by Aryan tribes related to the Indo-Aryans and Iranian Peoples. Eventually a kingdom known as Arachosia was formed, parts of which were ruled by the Medean Empire by 600 BC. The Medes were overthrown by the Achaemenid Persian Empire in 550 BC, and the rest Arachosia was soon annexed. In the 3rd century BC, Macedonian king Alexander the Great (known in East as Sikander) annexed the region during his conquest of the Persian Empire and founded the colony of "Alexandria in Arachosia" (modern Kandahar).Now a days it is called Baluchistan in Pakistan and Sistan in Iran as English Govt. divided into parts to rule and control.
