At the 2006 census, its population was 2,715 in 668 households, when it was a village in Biabanak Rural District of the former Khur and Biabanak District of
Nain County.[5] The following census in 2011 counted 2,502 people in 724 households,[6] by which time the district had been separated from the county in the establishment of Khur and Biabanak County,[7] and the village of Farrokhi had been elevated to the status of a city.[8] The latest census in 2016 showed a population of 2,968 people in 909 households.[2]
Farrokhi's documented history begins as late as the Qajar period. It was then one of the eight major villages that constituted the district of Biabanak (
Khur and Biabanak County). The earliest demographic data comes from the local census of 1884, which recorded 230 households with 939 inhabitants.[9] Farrokhi has its local dialect, called
Farvi or Farvigi, a variety of the West Iranian language spoken in southern Biabanak district.[10]
