Gorgan, Ancient provincial capital in Golestan, Iran.
Located 30 kilometers from the Caspian Sea, Gorgan extends across 64 square kilometers of plains and foothills at 148 meters above sea level.
The city, formerly known as Zadracarta during ancient Hyrcania, maintained independence as a Zoroastrian state after the Arab conquest in the seventh century.
The population of 350,676 residents speaks the Astarabadi dialect of Farsi and includes communities of Turkmen and Baluch ethnic groups practicing Shiite Islam.
Four industrial estates operate in Gorgan, supporting manufacturing sectors alongside agricultural activities, including the production of citrus fruits and livestock farming.
