Narmashir (Persian: نرماشير, romanized: Narmāshīr)[a] is a city in the Central District of Narmashir County, Kerman province, Iran, serving as capital of both the county and the district.[5]
History
[edit]In the middle ages, Narmashir was one of the major cities of Kerman, but it was not at its present location — the ruins at the nearby village of Choghukabad are the most likely candidate for the site of medieval Narmashir.[6] The medieval geographers al-Muqaddasi, Yaqut al-Hamawi, and Hamdallah Mustawfi described medieval Narmashir as a large and prosperous town on the main trade route connecting Kerman with Sistan.[6] Merchants travelling between Oman and Khorasan did business here, and there was also a market for Indian goods.[6] The town was walled, with four gates and a citadel, and there was a congregational mosque built of fired brick.[6] Narmashir was one of the five kuras (districts) of Kerman during this period.[6] Sometime between Mustawfi's account in the 14th century, Narmashir became abandoned; European travellers in the 19th century found no trace of it.[6]
Demographics
[edit]Population
[edit]At the time of the 2006 National Census, the city's population was 3,966 in 1,007 households,[7] when it was capital of the former Narmashir District of Bam County[8] The following census in 2011 counted 6,167 people in 1,587 households,[9] by which time the district had been separated from the county in the establishment of Narmashir County. Narmashir was transferred to the new Central District as the county's capital.[5] The 2016 census measured the population of the city as 5,222 people in 1,545 households.[2]
