Etymology

There are three theories about the name Jahrom. Based on Kar-Namag i Ardashir i Pabagan, in which Jahrom is mentioned as "Zarham"; It is probable that Jahrom means "green space".{{cite web |title=Jahrom' |website=Encyclopedia Iranica |url=http://www.iranicaonline.org/articles/jahrom |access-date=2020-04-08}} Based on Ahmad Kasravi, the late Iranian historian and philologist, the name Jahrom can be analyzed to render a "warm-place".{{Cite web |url=http://www.jahrom.org/htmls/history.html |title=Jahrom History |access-date=2009-12-16 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110206155148/http://www.jahrom.org/htmls/history.html |archive-date=2011-02-06 |url-status=dead}} Jahrom consists of "Ja" and "Hrom", Ja means "place" and "Hrom" in Avestan means "high and forbidden fortress", which is other name of the city of Barzeh (the current Takht-e Soleymān) In Iranian Azerbaijan, near the city of Maragheh.

= Nicknames =

"Green umbrella" is a nickname of Jahrom due to the resemblance of the huge masses of palm trees of Jahrom to green umbrellas.{{cite web |url=https://www.iranboom.ir/gardesh-gari/17419-jahrom-980127-027.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190829164658/https://www.iranboom.ir/gardesh-gari/17419-jahrom-980127-027.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=29 August 2019 |title=Jahrom |website=Iran Boom |access-date=2020-04-08 }} "Dar ol-Momenin" is the other nickname which means "house of faithful people" because of high percentage of Islam believers in the city.

Jahrom is also known as the "City of Sour Gold" due to production of lime and the "Land of Palms and Oranges", which are the two well-known plant species of the city and surrounding areas.{{cite web |url=https://www.farsnews.ir/amp/13910725001135 |title=Jahrom must stay faithful |website=Fars news |access-date=2020-04-08 }}

History

File:قدمگاه جهرم.JPG

Jahrom's history goes back some 2500 years when the Achaemenids established the Persian Empire. The establishment of the city is attributed to Artaxerxes I of Persia. The Sassanid monument of Qadamgāh is located to the south of the city, experts believe the monument was constructed during the late Sasanian dynastic era (224-651 AD), and it was a Zoroastrian shrine, probably a fire temple. Jahrom is the birthplace of Barbod, who became the main lyricist and musician in the court of the great Sassanid king Khosrau II (Parviz).

Jahrom was conquered by the Muslims in 641 or 644 after a fierce battle. "The Valley of the Martyrs" in west of the city was the site of this battle, which is why it is called so. As it is described in Fars-Nama, Jahrom's taxes were paid to the Crown Prince during the Buyid period. In the late Safavid and early Zand periods, was the start date of planting trees in Jahrom, specially palm trees.

During the Qajar period, the ruler of this city began to build buildings and places for urban affairs, including the construction of the bazaar, as well as numerous caravanserais and the development of the city. In 1887, Mohammad Hassan Mirza Mohandes, introduced Jahrom as the largest and most prosperous city in Persia after Shiraz and Bushehr. Etemad os-Saltanah describes Jahrom in the late Qajar period a larger city than cities like Qom and Kashan.{{cite web | url=https://rch.ac.ir/article/Details/7739 | title=Jahrom | publisher=Islamic World Encyclopedia | access-date=9 April 2020}} People of Jahrom had an important rule in tobacco protests of 1890 and Persian Constitutional Revolution of early 20th century. Abd al-Husayn Najafi Lari was the Islamic leader of the city in this period.

Jahrom also had an important role in the Islamic revolution of Iran and was one of the 11 cities with martial law in pre-revolution protests. Seyyed Hossein ayatollahi was the Islamic leader of Jahrom in that period. A soldier killed the military governor of Jahrom on the birthday of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi on 6 October 1978. 1,200 people of Jahrom were martyred during Iran–Iraq War.{{cite web | url=http://home.mehromah.ir/fun/touring-iran/4010-Urban-arranged-in-the-East-Empire-of-Ardashir.html | title=Jahrom, a city in the east of Ardeshir's empire | access-date=9 April 2020}}{{cite web | url=https://defapress.ir/fa/news/225110/%D8%AC%D9%87%D8%B1%D9%85-%D8%B4%D9%87%D8%B1%D8%B3%D8%AA%D8%A7%D9%86%DB%8C-%D8%A8%D8%A7-11-%D8%B4%D9%87%DB%8C%D8%AF-%D8%A7%D9%86%D9%82%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%A8 | title=Jahrom county with 11 Martyrs | publisher=Defa press | access-date=9 April 2020}}
