The Central District of Gerash County (Persian: بخش مرکزی شهرستان گراش) is in Fars province, Iran. Its capital is the city of Gerash.[3]
In 2008, Beyram, Evaz, and Gerash Districts were separated from Larestan County[a] in the establishment of Gerash County, which was divided into three districts of two rural districts each, with Gerash as its capital.[3] However, Beyram and Evaz Districts were returned to Larestan County six months later. At the same time, Khalili Rural District was created in the Central District, and Arad Rural District was separated from it in the formation of Arad District.[5]
