At the time of the 2006 National Census, the village's population was 813 in 128 households.[5] The following census in 2011 counted 853 people in 195 households.[6] The 2016 census measured the population of the village as 816 people in 240 households.[2]

On 2 September 1979, Kurds of the village were reported to have been massacred by the recruits of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.[7] The Qarna massacre led to a shock among the Kurdish population. In an attempt to calm the situation, Ayatollah Khomeini announced the perpetrators of the massacre shall be brought to justice.[8]
