Shahr-e Kord is known for its natural environment, cold winters, waterfalls and rivers. Shahr-e Kord is Iran’s highest capital city at 2,070 m above the sea level. This led the city to be known as “Roof of Iran”. Shahr-e Kord is at a distance of 521 km (324 mi) southwest from Tehran.
Its weather is cold in winter and mild in summer. The town has a ski resort located about 35 km (22 mi) away and several natural lagoons and small lakes for outdoor activities.
Currently, people living in Shahr-e Kord are of three major backgrounds: Bakhtiari, Qashqai and indigenous Persian speakers of Shahr-e Kord; however, the people of Shahr-e Kord speak Persian as a lingua franca. Shahr-e Kord is assumed to be first developed by nomadic farmers because it encompasses vast meadows and several springs. Deh Kord was gradually founded by the immigrants from Isfahan, its suburbs, and the villages around Shahr-e Kord, most of whom started to run businesses such as agriculture, horticulture, hat making, felt making, oil and wool trading, and other industries.
