Why it is called Kushk?
There are 2 theories:
Its former name was Marbin which is perhaps taken from a region in Khomeini Shahr. In the last couple of decades, green lush and charming orchards have expanded in this area. Kushk is a garden or a mansion inside a garden.
its former name was Ghasr. One of the Mongol Khans chose the place for rest and pleasure and it was therefore called Ghasr, literally a palace, and later on it was known as Kushk, which means the same as Ghasr.

Its climate resembles Isfahan's and since it is near Isfahan, 13 km away, and enjoys picturesque and pleasant gardens, it has been well-received in the last couple of years.
