Golbahar (Persian: گلبهار, also Romanized as Golbahār) is a planned city in the Central District of Golbahar County, Razavi Khorasan province, Iran, serving as capital of both the county and the district.[3] Golbahar, along with Binalood, is one of the planned cities of the province and is 35 kilometers northwest of the Mashhad metropolis near Chenaran.
The new city of Golbahar was built to accommodate the excessive population of Mashhad. This city leads from the south to the Binalud Mountain Range and from the north to the Hezar Masjed Mountains and the Kashafrud River.
At the 2006 census, its population was 6,889 in 1,773 households, when it was a village in the former Golbahar District of Chenaran County).[4] The following census in 2011 counted 12,613 people in 3,460 households.[5] The latest census in 2016 showed a population of 36,877 people in 10,854 households,[2] by which time the village had been elevated to the status of a city.[6]
In August 2019, the district was separated from the county in the establishment of Golbahar County, which was divided into two districts of two rural districts each, with Golbahar as its capital.[3]
