The township of Andimeshk is located to the north of the Khuzestan province, on the southern slopes of Zagross mountains and at a distance of 726 km from Tehran. It has common borders with Lurestan. The city of Andimeshk was constructed near the ruins of the ancient city of "Lur" (Aritareen). "Lur" was a flourishing city, and its name is mentioned in the records of ancient geographers,i.e., Estakhry and Moqadasi. "Lur" continued florishing till mid ages, since then it was demolished and turned into a ruin.

In the Qajar (GHAJAR) era, Andimeshk gained further glory and importance due to construction of a castle by "Haj Saleh Khan Mokri", and thereby came to be known as "Saleh Abad", and thence Andimeshk.

Andimeshk is also a market for the agricultural products of Lorestan province. The city also contains a large cotton textile mill and many small- and medium-scale industries.
