Abstract
The Larestan Miladi family dynasty is considered to be the oldest local state in Iran's history, governing more than sixteen centuries in large parts of the southern Fars province. According to the local narratives, the history of this state dates back to the first half of the 1st century AD with the reign of Goodarz Parthian. The children and dependents of Gorgin Milad, the founder of Larestan Miladi Dynasty ruled over the region for long due to the particular geographic and weather conditions of the region that made it ousted from socio-political events. Having declared loyalty, they were able to continue their semi-independent rule until the beginning of the reign of Shah Abbas I (996-1038 AH), with the advent of the Safavid dynasty and the centralizationist policies of this dynasty. However, the disagreement between Ibrahim Khan’s, the latest Lar Miladi Dynasty ruler, and the Provincial Government of Fars and the central government of Safavid in the Shah Abbas I , eventually led to the invasion of Allahverdykhan , the Governor of Fars to the Larestan and the fall of Lar Miladi Dynasty on 1010 AH. The current paper aims at investigating the relationships between Larestan Miladi Dynasty and Shah Abbas I as well as the reasons behind the discrepancy between this local government and the central government of Safavid and its fall using a library-descriptive methodology based on the Safavid historical resources as well as the resources investigated the local history of Larestan.

Summary
The study of the history of local and regional governments for writing comprehensive descriptions of the history of the great land of Iran is inevitable, especially since the second half of Iranian history, known as the Islamic era, a set of local, regional and Renaissance governments ruled over the land from the beginning of this period to at least half of the Safavid rule, and has had a major impact on the political and economic developments of this era. The Larestan Miladi family dynasty as the oldest local state in Iran's history, governed in large parts of the southern Fars province, ruling over the region for long due to the particular geographic and weather conditions of the region that made it ousted from socio-political events. Perhaps the reason for this is the geographical separation of this region from other parts of Fars and its governance by the family of the local kings. The current paper examines the relationships between Larestan Miladi Dynasty and Shah Abbas I as well as the reasons behind its fall
