Abarkooh is one of the ancient Iranian cities located about 140 kilometer (87 miles) to the west of the city of Yazd and bordering the province of Fars. Abarkooh has been one of the famous towns in the ancient are as it was situated on the path of the world renown Silk Road. The population in the 2008 estimate is about 45000 People who live in the 5712 square kilometer area of Abarkooh.
Abarkooh is divided into two districts: centeral district and Bahman district. The important villages of Abarkooh are: Tirjerd, FarAgheh, TirAbAd and EsfandAbAd.
The name of the town has been going through changes. Since it has been built by the edge of the mountain, the name has been “Bare Kooh” which in Persian means “by the mountain”. For simplicity, people then change the name to “Abarkooh”. Its official name is now Abarkooh but it has in the past been called Abarqu, Abarghoo, Abarkooyeh, Abarghooyeh, Dare Kooh and Barghooh.
There are some writings about Abarkooh but I have not yet found a very solid comprehensive one. The are scattered writings which will use later to complete this. There is a book called “ShenAkhte Abarkooh va Ghedmate An” or “Learning about Abarkooh and its History”. It is mentioned in that book that the history of the city of Abarkooh is even dated before the formation of the ancient city of Yazd.
There are many historical sites in the city which is a proof of its civilization and history. One of the most famous things in Abarkooh which attracts many tourists is the old cypress tree which is said to be over 4000 years old (according to a Russian expert). A Japanese scientist has put the age of the tree as old as 8000 years. The height of the tree is about 28 meter.
