Larestan County

Larestan County (Persian: شهرستان لارستان)[a] is in Fars province, Iran.

[4] In the medieval ages, Laristan was ruled by the local Miladian dynasty, until it was removed by a Safavid invasion in 1602 led by Allahverdi Khan.

In the thirteenth century, Larestan briefly became a center of trade and commerce in southern Persia.

[5] Larestan was nearly always an obscure region, never becoming involved in the politics and conflicts of mainstream Persia.
