The 1871 earthquake resulted in 2,000 fatalities and another 4,000 people died in the 1872 shock. Both earthquakes destroyed at least half of the town; the dome at the Imamzadeh of Sultan Ibrahim was heavily damaged and declared a loss. One brick school building also collapsed.

corresponded with a north-northwest–south-southeast trending dextral fault in the area. It runs through the Kopeh Dagh at an oblique angle and offsets the region's bedrock; continuing northwards, the fault joins with the Ashkabad Fault System. There is little evidence of faulting in the Atrak Valley
