## History

Map of Iran during the [Abbasid Caliphate](/source/Abbasid_Caliphate). Toon (Ferdows), [Qaen](/source/Qaen) and [Tabas](/source/Tabas) are the cities indicated in [Quhistan](/source/Quhistan) (Nowadays South Khorasan Province).

Ferdows's name on the map 1705 ("Thun")

Ferdows's name on the map 1787 ("Toun")

Ferdows's name on the map 1814 ("Toon")

Founded by the [Medes](/source/Medes), Ferdows is currently a city. It was a large and famous city in ancient days. There is an unproven theory that the town's name in ancient days was "Taban" (or shining; تابان in [Persian](/source/Persian_language)). In the Islamic era it became known as Toon or Tūn, a name retained until 1929, when it was changed to Ferdows.

The first people to inhabit Ferdows were a group of [Sagartians](/source/Sagartians). Toon was a famous and thriving city both before and during the Islamic era. It was one of the most prominent cities of [Quhistan](/source/Quhistan), along with [Qaen](/source/Qaen); [Nasir Khusraw](/source/Nasir_Khusraw) mentioned Toon as a large city in the 11th century. However, Toon was [plundered and destroyed](/source/Mongol_campaign_against_the_Nizaris) by the Mongols in 1239. Eventually, Toon recovered and regained its statues as one of Quhistan's major cities. [Marco Polo](/source/Marco_Polo) mentioned the south Khorasan region as *Toonoqaen*, apparently in reference to the two largest cities, Toon and Qaen.[8][9]

In early 1751 the town was captured by [Ahmad Shah Durrani](/source/Ahmad_Shah_Durrani) during his invasion of [Khorasan](/source/Afsharid_dynasty) under [Shahrokh Shah](/source/Shahrokh_Shah).[10]

Ferdows was still a famous and prosperous city in [Khorasan](/source/Khorasan_(Province)) at the beginning of the 20th century and the Municipality of Ferdows, originally formed in 1925 (under the name of Toon), was one of the first municipalities of [Khorasan province](/source/Khorasan_(Province)).[11] However, the city experienced significant decline following a devastating [earthquake](/source/1968_Dasht-e_Bayaz_and_Ferdows_earthquakes) in 1968.

After [Khorasan province](/source/Khorasan_(Province)) was divided into three provinces, Ferdows County was initially a part of [Razavi Khorasan](/source/Razavi_Khorasan_province) province,[5] but was incorporated within the borders of [South Khorasan](/source/South_Khorasan_province) province in 2007.[12]

## Demographics

## Geography

Most of villages around Ferdows are situated in the mountainous region to the north and northeast. The nearest town, [Eslamieh](/source/Eslamieh), lies just 3 km northeast. The city lies on the main route from [Kerman](/source/Kerman), [Yazd](/source/Yazd), [Bandar Abbas](/source/Bandar_Abbas) and other southern cities to [Mashhad](/source/Mashhad) and hosts more than 6 million pilgrims annually on their way to Mashhad.[15] It is also a nexus of several roads converging from different areas of Iran.
