Rasht; Resht
The capital of Gilan Province in northwestern Iran. It is located on a tributary of the Safid River, at the western end of the Elburz Mountains. Since the Russian southward expansion policy in the 17th century, it has gained administrative importance, but it was occupied by the Russian and Soviet armies during the First and Second World Wars, and its economy declined significantly after that. In addition to being the center of local administration and culture, it is a commercial and industrial city that collects and processes rice, tea, and peanuts, and manufactures silk textiles, soap, glass, and jute bags, in the surrounding rice-growing areas. A large dam was completed on the Safid River in 1962. It is connected by major roads to Bandar-e Anzali, Tehran, Tabriz, and has an airport. Population: 557,366 (2006).
