Bampur
Bampur (Balochi: بُنپور and Persian: بمپور) is a city in the Central District of Bampur County, Sistan and Baluchestan province, Iran, serving as capital of both the county and the district.
The old citadel of Bampur, on a hill about 100 feet (30 m) high 3 miles (4.8 km) north of the river, fell into ruins. A new fort called Kalah Nasseri, was built at Pahrah, which is known as Iranshahr, 15 miles (24 km) further east, in the 1880s.
Fahraj, which in 1911 had a population of about 2,500, has become more important than Bampur. Fahraj, which is also known as Pahura (or Paharu or Puhra), is by some identified as the Poura where Alexander the Great halted on his march from the Indus Valley.

The following census in 2011 counted 10,071 people in 2,426 households. The 2016 census measured the population of the city as 12,217 people in 3,123 households.
In 2017, the district was separated from the county in the establishment of Bampur County, and Bampur was transferred to the new Central District as the county's capital.
It is located 330 miles (530 km) south-east of Kerman at an elevation of 1,720 feet (520 m) In 1911 its population was about 2,000 and it was the capital of the province. It is situated on the banks of the Bampur river which flows from east to west and empties itself about 70 miles (110 km) west into a hamun, or depression, 50 miles (80 km) in length, and called Jaz Murian.
