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

History

Early history

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. Larestan was nearly always an obscure region, never becoming involved in the politics and conflicts of mainstream Persia.

The historical region of Larestan consists of several counties in Fars province (Larestan County, Khonj County, Gerash County and Lamerd County) and Bastak County in Hormozgan province.

Administrative changes

In November 2008, Beyram, Evaz, and Gerash Districts were separated from the county in the establishment of Gerash County. However, Beyram and Evaz Districts were returned to Larestan County six months later. The village of Latifi was elevated to the status of a city, and the village of Emad Deh became the city of Emadshahr.

In December 2017, the village of Dehkuyeh rose to city status. Evaz District was separated from the county in 2018 to establish Evaz County. Juyom District was separated from the county in 2021 in the establishment of Juyom County.
