Sirjan County (Persian: شهرستان سیرجان) is in Kerman province, Iran. Its capital is the city of Sirjan.[2]
History
After the 2006 National Census, Balvard and Chahar Gonbad Rural Districts were separated from the Central District in the establishment of Balvard District;[3] Golestan and Malekabad Rural Districts to establish Golestan District; and Mahmudabad-e Seyyed and Zeydabad Rural Districts to form Zeydabad District.[4] Additionally, the village of Saadatabad merged with several villages in the formation of the new city of Hamashahr.[5]
After the 2011 census, the villages of Balvard and Malekabad were elevated to city status as Balvard[6] and Khvajeh Shahr,[7] respectively. The city of Zeydabad was transferred from the Central District to Zeydabad District.
