Nowshahr

Nowshahr (Persian: نوشهر) is a city in the Central District of Nowshahr County, Mazandaran province, Iran, serving as capital of both the county and the district. It is a port city on the southern coast of the Caspian Sea.

Ruyan is a region in the west of Mazandaran province. This land includes Kojur, Kalārestāq and Tonekabon. The city of Kojur was the center of the land of the Ruyans. Ruyan has always been part of Tabaristan, nowadays called Mazandaran province. Ruyan was also called Rostamdār, Ostandār and Rostamdele.

The city of Chalus and its associated towns and villages were part of the Nowshahr township prior to 1996, after which they formed the new township of by legislation from the national parliament.

The largest ethnic group in Nowshahr is the Mazandarani people and they speak the Kojuri dialect of the language. They are also fluent in Persian, the official language of Iran.

At the time of the 2006 National Census, the city's population was 40,578 in 11,550 households. The following census in 2011 counted 43,378 people in 12,695 households. The 2016 census measured the population of the city as 49,403 people in 16,287 households.

Nowshahr has a humid subtropical climate (Köppen: Cfa, Trewartha: Cf), with warm, humid summers and cool, damp winters.[citation needed]

The city has been slow to industrialise due to environmental considerations and having an already vibrant economy based on tourism, ship transport and agriculture. Nevertheless there are local food processing, timber treatment and steel industries.[citation needed] Recently, a trailer assembly plant has opened in cooperation with the MAZ of Belarus.

The Dual-use port of Noshahr was built by a Dutch contracting firm in the late 1920s and is one of Iran's most active ports on the Caspian Sea.
