Overview
Overview
Shahmirzad has been home to people of diverse ethnic backgrounds, a large group of whom seasonally settled in cities and towns of Mazandaran province, such as Babol, Sari, Neka, and Behshahr. During the past decades many Muslim, Bahá'í, and Shahmirzadi Jews, migrated to larger cities in Iran and abroad, most notably the San Francisco Bay Area. Shahmirzad's walnut orchard, with a size of 700 ha, is noted by the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization as the largest of its kind in the world. Shahmirzadi homeowners are given a proprietary interest in the walnut orchard in proportion to the amount of land they own in the city. Shahmirzad also produces the mineral water called "Tenab-e Shahmirzad."
