Ferdows County (Persian: شهرستان فردوس) is in South Khorasan province, Iran.[3] Its capital is the city of Ferdows.[4]

History

Situated in the north of the province, Ferdows County, which was formed in 1944,[citation needed] originally included a large area (more than 78,000 km2), but its subdivisions have gradually become independent and the area now encompasses four counties (Ferdows, Tabas, Sarayan, and Boshruyeh Counties). After dividing the former Khorasan province into three provinces, Ferdows County was initially a part of Razavi Khorasan province,[5] but was incorporated within the borders of South Khorasan province in 2007.[3]

In 2008, Boshruyeh District was separated from the county in the establishment of Boshruyeh County.[6] In 2020, Baghestan and Borun Rural Districts, and the city of Eslamiyeh, were separated from the Central District in the formation of Eslamiyeh District. At the same time, the village of Baghestan-e Olya was converted to a city and renamed Baghestan.[7]
