Yangābād

Yangabad lies in the Jarquya country southeast of Isfahan, where oasis villages are scattered across the dry interior. Its cultivated land depends on water brought through underground channels, contrasting with the barren plain beyond. The district was divided into upper and lower Jarquya, each with its own chain of settlements. Yangabad and neighbouring Peykan were among its important villages; after a period of decline they recovered their standing by the Qajar era, when Peykan served as the district's administrative centre.
