Farhādgerd

Farhadgerd is an old settlement in the Fariman country southeast of Mashhad. The surrounding district was once known as Esfanj or Eshnid and belonged to the wider region of Nishapur; Farhadgerd served as its centre. Mountain ranges enclose the plain, and streams descend from their slopes toward the cultivated land. The old settlement's name preserves its connection to the historical geography of eastern Khorasan.
