Ancestors of these cats were brought to Europe in the 17th century along with jewels, silk, and spices from central Asia, probably Persia (Iran). Other longhaired cats (Angora) came from Turkey and added to the breed. References to such cats dating back to 1684 B.C. were found. Persians have been popular since the Victorian times.
