Savojbolagh County (Persian: شهرستان ساوجبلاغ) is in Alborz province, Iran. Its capital is the city of Hashtgerd.[3]

History[edit]

The name Sāvojbolāgh is derived from Turkish and means "cold springs".[4] The 14th-century author Hamdallah Mustawfi described it as having "a fine climate"; most of its water was drawn from qanats, and it produced a lot of fruit and grain.[5] He wrote that the district had previously been attached to Ray for fiscal purposes under the Seljuk Empire, but under Mongol rule it had been detached.[5] Its inhabitants, he wrote, were nomads who were "indifferent to religious matters".[5] The main villages were Sonqorabad, Najmabad, and Kharav.[5] The district's tax revenues he listed as 12,000 dinars.[5]

In 2007, two villages merged to form the new city of Seyfabad,[6] later renamed Golsar.[7] In 2009, the county joined the recently established Alborz province.[3]

After the 2016 census, Taleqan District was separated from the county in the establishment of Taleqan County.[8] In 2019, Chaharbagh District was separated from the county in the establishment of Chaharbagh County.[9]
