Qaemiyeh (which means "standing" or "rising" in Persian) is a city located in the country of Iran. It is found in the Fars Province, which is a large region in the southwest of Iran.

This city is an important place because it is the main city, or "capital," of both the Kuhchenar County and its Central District. Think of a county as a larger area and a district as a smaller part within that county. Qaemiyeh is also easy to reach, as it sits right where two main roads, Road 86 and Road 55, meet.

How Many People Live Here?

Counting the number of people in a city is called a "census." It helps us understand how a city is growing.

The most recent census in 2016 counted even more people. The population reached 26,918 people living in 7,298 homes. This shows that Qaemiyeh is a growing city!
