At the 2006 National Census, its population was 978 in 232 households, when it was in the former Qorveh-e Darjazin District of Razan County.[5] The following census in 2011 counted 955 people in 272 households.[6] The latest census in 2016 showed a population of 924 people in 282 households.[2]

After the census, the district was separated from the county in the establishment of Dargazin County, which was divided into two districts of two rural districts each, with the city of Qorveh-e Dargazin as its capital.[4]

The 14th-century author Hamdallah Mustawfi listed Shavand (as Ashvand) as one of the main villages in the A‘lam district under Hamadan.[7]
