Meymand (Persian: ميمند)[a] is a city in, and the capital of, Meymand District of Firuzabad County, Fars province, Iran.[5]
At the 2006 census, its population was 8,615 in 2,138 households.[6] The following census in 2011 counted 9,058 people in 2,524 households.[7] The latest census in 2016 showed a population of 10,120 people in 3,226 households.[2]
Meymand is a few miles east of Firuzabad and about 70 miles (110 km) from Shiraz.[3] Its population is almost wholly occupied with the manufacture and sale of rose water, which is largely exported to many parts of Iran as well as to Arabia, India and Java.[3] Shafaq cave is located nearby. The district also produces great quantities of almonds.[3]
In 1961, Meymand became a city after consensus with the three villages of Meymand-e Sofla, Meymand-e Olya and Shabankareh.
