Baqubah, Administrative center in east-central Iraq.
Baqubah extends along the Diyala River banks, surrounded by agricultural fields and date palm plantations that shape the local landscape.
The settlement developed from an ancient Aramaic community named Baya quba, functioning as a major station on the Baghdad-Khorasan trading route.
The city maintains diverse ethnic communities including Sunni Arabs, Shia Arabs, Turkmen, and Kurdish populations, reflecting regional demographic patterns.
Baqubah serves as the capital of Diyala Governorate, located 50 kilometers northeast of Baghdad with direct road connections to major Iraqi cities.
During World War I, the city housed a substantial refugee camp that provided sanctuary for 40,000 Assyrian people under military protection.
