Larestan County (Persian: شهرستان لارستان) is in Fars province, Iran. Its capital is the city of Lar.[3]

History[edit]

In the medieval ages, Laristan was ruled by the local dynasty of Miladi, until it was removed by a Safavid invasion in 1610. In the thirteenth century, Larestan briefly became a center of trade and commerce in southern Persia.[4] Larestan was nearly always an obscure region, never becoming involved in the politics and conflicts of mainstream Persia.[4]

The historical region of Larestan consists of several counties in Fars province (Larestan County, Khonj County, Gerash County and Lamerd County) and Bastak CountyinHormozgan province.[5][6]

After the 2006 National Census, Gerash District was separated from the county in the establishment of Gerash County.[7] The village of Latifi was elevated to the status of a city,[8] and the village of Emad Deh became the city of Emadshahr.[9]

In December 2017, the village of Dehkuyeh was elevated to the status of a city.[10] Evaz District was separated from the county in 2018 to form Evaz County.[11] Juyom District was separated from the county on 25 March 2021 to form Juyom County.[12]

Demographics[edit]

Language[edit]

Larestani people speak the Larestani language.[13] Larestani people are of Persian descent,[4] the majority of Larestani people are Sunnis.[4][14][15][16] Larestani people call themselves "Khodmooni".
