North Khorasan Province, Province in northeastern Iran
North Khorasan is a province in northeastern Iran composed of eight administrative counties with landscapes ranging from mountains to plains. Bojnord serves as the provincial capital and functions as the administrative center of the region.
This area was originally part of the historical Greater Khorasan region until 2004, when authorities separated it into an independent province. The division was made to improve administrative management and regional oversight.
The province is home to several ethnic groups, including Persians, Khorasani Turks, Turkmen, and Kurds, each maintaining their own languages and customs. This diversity shapes daily life and local craftsmanship traditions across different parts of the region.
The province is connected through a network of highways linking it to other Iranian regions, with regular bus services available throughout. The central bus terminal in Bojnord serves as the main hub for travelers exploring different parts of the area.
The region holds significant deposits of aluminum, copper, and limestone that contribute to its economy. Local craftspeople continue to produce traditional carpets using regional patterns and materials, reflecting generations of skill and artistry.
