Details regarding its exact founding and closing dates are often inconsistent across sources, and surviving issues are rare. Generally, it is understood to have been published sometime in the late 19th or early 20th century.

Key information about Estakhr is sparse, but it is generally regarded as one of the early examples of modern journalism in Iran. The newspaper likely covered a range of topics, including news from within Iran and abroad, commentary on political and social issues, and possibly literary pieces. Due to the limited availability of archival material, the specifics of its editorial stance, target audience, and impact are difficult to definitively ascertain. Further research and discovery of existing copies are required to more fully understand its contribution to Iranian media history. It is believed to have been published in Tehran.
