Bandar Ganaveh (Persian: بندرگناوه)[a] is a city in the Central District of Ganaveh County, Bushehr province, Iran, serving as capital of both the county and the district.[4]

History

Bandar Ganaveh is the place where the Persian warlord, and founder of the Qarmatian State Abu Sa'id al-Jannabi originated from.[5][6] Ganaveh was historically famous for its pearl fishing and tiraz production, but it seems to have already been in decline by the 10th century.[7] The reason may have been because of the Qarmatian wars, or perhaps because of the lack of water supplies.[7] It had been the port of Bishapur and then Kazerun.[7]

Demographics

Language

Most of the population speak a dialect of Southern Lorish with some (in some case, great) influence from Bushehri speech.[citation needed]

Population

At the time of the 2006 National Census, the city's population was 59,291 in 12,548 households.[8] The following census in 2011 counted 64,110 people in 15,752 households.[9] The 2016 census measured the population of the city as 73,472 people in 19,977 households.[2]
