The Central District of Eshqabad County (Persian: بخش مرکزی شهرستان عشق‌آباد)[b] is in South Khorasan province, Iran.[4] Its capital is the city of Eshqabad.[5]

History

Tabas County, of which Dastgerdan District[c] was a part, was originally in the former province of Khorasan.[5] When the province was divided into North, Razavi, and South Khorasan provinces in 2004, the county was not included in the new provinces,[6] instead listed as a part of Yazd province in the 2006 and 2011 censuses.[7][8]

The county was separated from the province to join South Khorasan province in 2013.[9] In 2024, Dastgerdan District was separated from the county in the establishment of Eshqabad County and renamed the Central District. The new county was divided into two districts of two rural districts each, with Eshqabad as its capital and only city at the time.[4]
