🇮🇷 Shahrud (شاهرود; shahrood, shahroud) is a city in the Central District of Shahrud County, Semnan province, Iran, serving as capital of both the county and the district.

History Archeological excavations in different parts of Shahrud Plain indicate the existence of villages in this area during 7-5 millennium BC.

The town was visited by Nasser Khosrow Qubadiani, the Iranian poet of the 12th century, and mentioned by him as the centre of the Qomis province.

Shahrud is absent from earlier historical sources and become an important town since the 19th century because of its location on the road from Tehran east to Khorasan. It now also is on the railway. A road runs from Shahrud across the Alborz mountains to the Caspian coastal plains in the north; it is accessible throughout winter. Shahrud was renamed Imāmrūd after the Iranian Revolution of 1979, and has since reverted to the old name. It is just south of the historical city of Bastam.

Demographics As of 1991, Shahrud had a population of 92,195. At the time of the 2006 National Census, the city's population was 126,916 in 35,548 households. The following census in 2011 counted 140,474 people in 40,931 households. The 2016 census measured the population of the city as 150,129 people in 47,606 households.
