Ramhormoz (Persian: رامهرمز) is a city in the Central District of Ramhormoz County, Khuzestan province, Iran, serving as capital of both the county and the district.[3] In ancient times it had been known as Samangan, having been established by the Sasanian emperor Hormizd I,[4] although an Elamite tomb has been found as well. The historical territory of Ramshir is in this area, only 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) away from the city.
At the 2006 National Census, its population was 49,822 in 10,966 households.[5] The following census in 2011 counted 69,869 people in 17,046 households.[6] The latest census in 2016 showed a population of 74,285 people in 20,127 households.[2]
According to a hadith in Sahih al-Bukhari, Ramhormoz is the ancestral home of Salman the Persian, a companion of the Prophet.[7][8][9]

In one particular hadith, Salman mentions he is from Ramhormoz, though this is a reference to his ancestry as his father was transferred from Ramhormoz to Esfahan, residing in Jey (just outside the military camp), which was designed to accommodate the domestic requirements of military personnel.
