Language

The Shahmirzadi language (شامرزایی) is a Caspian language close to Mazandarani.[5]

Population

At the time of the 2006 National Census, the city's population was 7,273 in 1,860 households, when it was in the former Mehdishahr District of Semnan County.[6] The following census in 2011 counted 8,882 people in 2,625 households,[7] by which time the district had been separated from the county in the establishment of Mehdishahr County. Shahmirzad was transferred to the new Shahmirzad District.[4] The 2016 census measured the population of the city as 11,191 people in 3,789 households.[2] During the summer, the city's population approaches 40,000 as tourists come for its cool climate and popular gardens.[citation needed]

Overview

Shahmirzad has been home to people of diverse ethnic backgrounds, a large group of whom seasonally settled in cities and towns of Mazandaran, such as Babol, Sari, Neka, and Behshahr. During the past decades many Muslim, Bahá'í, and Shahmirzadi Jews,[8] migrated to larger cities in Iran and abroad, most notably San Francisco Bay Area.

Shahmirzad's walnut orchard with a size of 700 ha is noted by the UN, Food and Agriculture Organization, as the largest of its kind in the world.[9] Shahmirzadi homeowners are given a proprietary interest in the walnut orchard in proportion to the amount of land they own in the village. Shahmirzad also produces mineral water "Tenab Shahmirzad".[10][11]
