Neyriz (Persian: نیریز)[a] is a city in the Central District of Neyriz County, Fars province, Iran, serving as capital of both the county and the district.[5]
At the 2006 National Census, its population was 45,180 in 11,970 households.[6] The following census in 2011 counted 50,291 people in 14,416 households.[7] The latest census in 2016 showed a population of 49,850 people in 15,338 households.[2]
The name is also used for the district in which it is situated and for the Bakhtegan Lake. The town was located on its shores, but because of the shrinkage of the salt lake it is now to its southeast. In the nineteenth century some of the Neyriz inhabitants were Bábís, and were persecuted by the government.
In 2010, construction of the Neyriz Ghadir Steel Complex began in Neyriz. The DRI plant came online in 2018 as part of Iran's seven major steel production development program.[8]
