Historical legends
Kashmar is a city with ancient history and many legendary stories Among the historical legends are about the Cypress of Kashmar.{{cite web|title=كاشمر شهر سروهاي افسانه اي|url=https://www.mehrnews.com/news/304130|access-date=11 October 2020|work=Mehr News Agency|date=19 March 2006}}
= Cypress of Kashmar =
{{Main|Cypress of Kashmar}}
The Cypress of Kashmar is a mythical cypress tree of legendary beauty and gargantuan dimensions. It is said to have sprung from a branch brought by Zoroaster from Paradise and to have stood in today's Kashmar in northeastern Iran and to have been planted by Zoroaster in honor of the conversion of King Vishtaspa to Zoroastrianism. According to the Iranian physicist and historian Zakariya al-Qazwini King Vishtaspa had been a patron of Zoroaster who planted the tree himself. In his ʿAjā'ib al-makhlūqāt wa gharā'ib al-mawjūdāt, he further describes how the Al-Mutawakkil in 247 AH (861 AD) caused the mighty cypress to be felled, and then transported it across Iran, to be used for beams in his new palace at Samarra. Before, he wanted the tree to be reconstructed before his eyes. This was done in spite of protests by the Iranians, who offered a very high sum of money to save the tree. Al-Mutawakkil never saw the cypress, because he was murdered by a Turkish soldier (possibly in the employ of his son) on the night when it arrived on the banks of the Tigris.{{cite web|url=http://www.goldenassay.com/tag/cypress-of-kashmar/|title=The Destruction of Sacred Trees|date=17 July 2012|publisher=www.goldenassay.com|access-date=6 February 2020|archive-date=6 March 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210306212314/http://www.goldenassay.com/tag/cypress-of-kashmar/|url-status=dead}}{{cite web|url=http://www.zoroastrian.org.uk/vohuman/Library/The%20Cypress%20of%20Kashmar%20and%20Zoroaster.htm|title=The Cypress of Kashmar and Zoroaster|publisher=www.zoroastrian.org.uk|access-date=6 February 2020}}
= Fire Temple of Kashmar =
Kashmar Fire Temple was the first Zoroastrian fire temple built by Vishtaspa at the request of Zoroaster in Kashmar. In a part of Ferdowsi's Shahnameh, the story of finding Zarathustra and accepting Vishtaspa's religion is regulated that after accepting Zoroastrian religion, Vishtaspa sends priests all over the universe And Azar enters the fire temples (domes) and the first of them is Adur Burzen-Mihr who founded in Kashmar and planted a cypress tree in front of the fire temple and made it a symbol of accepting the Zoroastrian religion. And he sent priests all over the world, and commanded all the famous men and women to come to that place of worship.{{cite web|title=تاریخچه و نقشه جامع شهر کاشمر در ویکی آنا|url=https://ana.press/fa/news/47/475017/%D8%AA%D8%A7%D8%B1%DB%8C%D8%AE%DA%86%D9%87-%D9%88-%D9%86%D9%82%D8%B4%D9%87-%D8%AC%D8%A7%D9%85%D8%B9-%D8%B4%D9%87%D8%B1-%DA%A9%D8%A7%D8%B4%D9%85%D8%B1-%D8%AF%D8%B1-%D9%88%DB%8C%DA%A9%DB%8C-%D8%A2%D9%86%D8%A7|access-date=27 October 2020|work=ana.press|date=4 January 2015}}

= Kashmar carpet =
Kashmar carpet is a regional Persian carpet named after its origin, the city of Kashmar, that is produced throughout the Kashmar County. The carpets are handmade and are often available with landscape and hunting designs. The history of carpet weaving in Kashmar dates back to 150 years and the contemporary art of carpet weaving dates back to 1920. However, between 1260 and 1280, mass production of carpets was recorded by historians. The first master weaver in the Kashmar region was Mohammad Kermani, who, despite his last name, was not from Kerman, but people say he was born in a village called Forutqeh near Kashmar. According to historians, the master weaver brought the knowledge of carpet weaving from Kerman province, and his first work was probably commissioned by Saeed Hossein Sajjadi, a native and resident of Forutqeh and a famous carpet manufacturer.{{cite web|title=Review of the Carpet Industry in Kashmar|url=https://www.jozan.net/review-of-the-carpet-industry-in-kashmar/|access-date=10 December 2020|work=www.jozan.net|date=9 November 2004}}

Iran Teymourtāsh ({{langx|fa|ایران تیمورتاش}}; 1914–1991), the eldest daughter of Abdolhossein Teymourtāsh, is considered a pioneer among women activists in 20th-century Iran. Her father's position as the second most powerful political personality in Iran, from 1925 to 1932, afforded Iran Teymourtāsh the opportunity to play a prominent role in that country's women's affairs early in life.Agheli, Bagher, Teymourtash Dar Sahneye-h Siasate-h Iran ("Teimurtash in the Political Arena of Iran") (Javeed: Tehran, 1371).Behnoud, Masoud, Een Se Zan, Ashraf Pahlavi, Mariam Firouz, va Iran TeymourtashCronin, Stephanie, The Making of Modern Iran: State and Society Under Reza Shah (Routledge: London, 2003) {{ISBN|0-415-30284-6}}.
