Chaharbagh (Persian: چهارباغ)[a] is a city in the Central District[b] of Chaharbagh County, Alborz province, Iran, serving as capital of both the county[6] and the district.[3] It was the administrative center for Chahardangeh Rural District[7] until its capital was transferred to the village of Sonqorabad.[6] The village of Chahardangeh was converted to the city of Chaharbagh in 2005.[3]
Population
At the time of the 2006 National Census, the city's population was 5,577 in 1,448 households, when it was in Savojbolagh County of Tehran province.[8] The 2016 census measured the population of the city as 48,828 inhabitants in 14,380 households,[4] by which time the county had been separated from the province in the establishment of Alborz province.[9]
In 2020, the district was separated from the county in establishing Chaharbagh County and renamed the Central District. Chaharbagh became the new county's capital.[6]
