Meshginshahr (Template:Langx)Template:Efn is a city in the Central District of Meshgin Shahr County, Ardabil province, Iran, serving as capital of both the county and the district.[1]
History
The 14th-century author Hamdallah Mustawfi mentioned the city, as Khiyāv, as one of the seven cities in the tuman of Pishkin, or Mishkin.[2] He distinguished between the cities of Khiyav and Pishkin: according to him, Khiyav lay to the south of Mount Sablan and had a warm climate, while Pishkin (which he said had formerly been called "Varāvī") was to the north of Mount Sablan and had a damp climate because the mountain shielded it from the sun.[2] Both cities drew their water from the streams coming down from the mountain.[2]
The district of Pishkin, he wrote, grew both grain and fruit in abundance, while Khiyav mostly grew grain.[2] Pishkin was assessed for a tax value of 5,200 dinars, while Khiyav was assessed at 2,000.[2] Mustawfi wrote that Pishkin's population was mostly Shafi'i Sunnis, with Shi'i and Hanafi Sunni minorities.[2] He said nothing about Khiyav's religious makeup, but instead described its population as mostly "boot-makers and cloth-workers".[2]
