Bahman (which is written as Persian: بهمن in Persian) is a city located in Iran. It is part of the Fars Province, which is a large region in the country. Specifically, Bahman is found within Abadeh County.

This city is important because it serves as the main administrative center for the Bahman and Soghad District. Think of it like the main office or capital for that area. It also helps manage the Bahman Rural District, which includes smaller villages and towns around the city.

Understanding Bahman's Population

How Many People Live in Bahman?

Knowing how many people live in a city helps us understand its size and how it's growing. This is usually found out through a "census," which is like a big count of everyone living in a place.

  • In 2006, the first count showed that Bahman had 6,484 people. These people lived in 1,604 different homes or "households." At that time, Bahman was part of the Central District of Abadeh County.
  • Five years later, in 2011, another census was taken. The population had grown to 7,305 people. The number of households also increased to 2,077.
  • The most recent census in 2016 showed even more growth. Bahman's population reached 7,568 people, living in 2,325 households. This shows that more and more people are choosing to live in Bahman.

Changes in Bahman's Administration

Cities and regions sometimes change how they are organized. This happened for Bahman in July 2018.

  • Before 2018, Bahman was part of a different administrative area.
  • In July 2018, the city of Bahman and the rural areas around it were officially separated. They became their own new administrative area called the Bahman and Soghad District. This change means Bahman now has a more central role in managing its own district.
