Būshehr (English spelling)

The capital of Bushehr Province in southern Iran. A port city on the Persian Gulf. Population: 143,641 (1996), 223,504 (2016 Census). Built as a naval base in the first half of the 18th century, it developed as a center of maritime trade in the Persian Gulf, especially as relations with Britain deepened. In 1938, it lost its status when the Trans-Iranian Railway was built to present-day Bandar Khomeini.
