Demographics
Overview
The expansion of the urban area of Jafarabad is in the northwest-southeast direction, and longitudinally, and the main road of Bileh Savar Moghan—Parsabad Moghan passes through it.
The place of Jafarabad and its surrounding plains was considered as Qeshlaq-e Shahsavan by nomads in the past. Due to its favorable geographical location, the first construction activities of the region started there. With the start of the construction activities of the Shiar Azerbaijan Company around 1939, the initial nucleus of the settlement was formed. With the implementation of the rural leader plan (from the rural development plans prepared by the Islamic Revolution Housing Foundation and Reforms) its residential fabric became more regular.[citation needed]
