Chabahar County (Persian: شهرستان چابهار) is in Sistan and Baluchestan province, Iran. Its capital is the port city of Chabahar on the coast of the Gulf of Oman.

History

After the 2011 National Census, Talang Rural District was separated from the county to join Qasr-e Qand County. After the 2016 census, the village of Polan was elevated to the status of a city.

In September 2018, Dashtiari District was separated from the county in the establishment of Dashtiari County. Vashnam-e Dari Rural District was created in the Central District, and Pir Sohrab Rural District was separated from it in the formation of Pir Sohrab District, which was divided into two rural districts, including the new Bajar Bazar Rural District.

Demographics

Language and ethnicity

As of 2008, more than half of the population were living in rural areas; the urban population is 77,128, of which a majority reside in Chabahar city. The aboriginal residents in the city of Chabahar are the Baluchis. In recent years, many people have immigrated to Chabahar from other parts of Iran to find a better life. Immigration changed Chabahar's face dramatically. Today Chabahar has a mix of different ethnicities including Baluchs, Turks, Sistanis (Zabolis), and other peoples of Iran.

Economy

Traditionally, the people of Chabahar County were employed in fishing and agriculture, with some coastal trade. In the 1970s Iran established a naval station and an air base there. In the 1980s the port facilities at Chabahar were developed during the Iran–Iraq War, and further developed in the 1990s. The Chabahar Free Trade-Industrial Zone was established in 1992. These developments changed the county from primarily rural, to an urban–rural mix.

Chabahar County is the site of Iran's ballistic missile test range.

Tourism

Although some opportunities exist in Chabahar County for tourists, such as the village of Tis, folk festivals, and unusual landforms, tourism is undeveloped in the county.
