Jarqavieh County (Persian: شهرستان جرقویه) is in Isfahan province, Iran. Its capital is the city of Nikabad,[2] whose population at the time of the 2016 National Census was 4,364 people in 1,442 households.[3]
History
In 2021, Jarqavieh Olya and Jarqavieh Sofla[a] Districts were separated from Isfahan County in the establishment of Jarqavieh County, which was divided into two districts of two rural districts each, with Nikabad as its capital.[2][4]
The Shast-Sheshi festival (or related to "sixty-six" in Persian) is held annually in the region. Beginning on the sixty-sixth day after Nowruz (the Iranian New Year), the festival corresponds in date and function to the pre-Islamic Zoroastrian feast of Khordadgan, dedicated to the divinity Khordad, the female guardian of water.[5]
