Sohrevard (Persian: سهرورد)[a] is a city in the Central District of Khodabandeh County, Zanjan province, Iran, serving as the administrative center for Sohrevard Rural District.
[7] Medieval Muslim geographers described Sohrevard as a town in the province of Jibal, located south of Soltaniyeh on the road from Hamadan to Zanjan.
[7] Since Sohrevard had a cold highland climate, it did not produce much agriculturally except for grain and some smaller fruits.
[7] In the 10th century, when Ibn Hawqal wrote, Sohrevard was a Kurdish town inhabited by Kharijites, who later mostly emigrated from the city.
[8] The following census in 2011 counted 6,104 people in 1,665 households,[9] by which time the village had been elevated to the status of a city.
