Shushtar (Persian: شوشتر; also Romanized as Shūshtar and Shūstar and Shooshtar)[3] is a city in the Central District of Shushtar County, Khuzestan province, Iran, serving as capital of both the county and the district.[4]
At the 2006 National Census, its population was 94,124 in 21,511 households.[5] The following census in 2011 counted 106,815 people in 26,639 households.[6] The latest census in 2016 showed a population of 101,878 people in 28,373 households.[2]
Shushtar is an ancient fortress city, approximately 92 kilometres (57 mi) from Ahvaz, the centre of the province. Much of its past agricultural productivity derives from the irrigation system which centered on the Band-e Kaisar, the first dam bridge in Iran.[7] The whole water system in Shushtar consists of 13 sites called Shushtar Historical Hydraulic System which is registered as a Unesco World Heritage.
