Chalus County (Persian: شهرستان چالوس) is in Mazandaran province, Iran. Its capital is the city of Chalus.[4]
History
[edit]After the 2006 National Census, Kelardasht-e Gharbi Rural District was created in Kelardasht District, and Birun Bashm and Kuhestan Rural Districts, and the city of Marzanabad, were separated from it in the establishment of Marzanabad District.[5]
After the 2011 census, Kelardasht District was separated from the county in the formation of Kelardasht County, with Kelardasht as its capital and only city.[6] The village of Hachirud merged with other villages to become a city.[7]
Demographics
[edit]Language
[edit]The people residing in Chalus speak Mazanderani. In western Chalus, the dialect of Kalarestaqi is spoken[8] and in eastern Chalus, the dialect of Kojuri.[9] During the Pahlavi dynasty, a group of Langrud people migrated from Gilan to Chalus. The Langrudi living in Chalus speak Eastern Gilaki. The Eastern Gilaki language is spoken in the entire Chalus River valley, though some Kurdish tribes were established in Kojur and Kelardasht in the Qajar period.[10]

Climate
[edit]The warm, humid climate of Chalus was formerly considered unhealthy, and the bulk of the population of Chalus, as of all other towns in this region, used to migrate in summer to the summer pastures on the slopes around Delir and in the Kelardasht basin, one of the most popular and longest-settled districts in the region.
