Evaz County

Evaz County (Persian: شهرستان اوز‎) is a county in Fars Province, Iran. At the 2006 census, its population was 33,346, in 6,922 families.[1] The county has two cities: Evaz and Fishvar. The county has two rural districts (dehestan): Bid Shahr Rural District and Fishvar Rural District near it. The Evaz County was established on 2018 in Fars province.[2] The language spoken there comes from the ancient Persian dialect called Achomi [3](Avazi). The majority of the people in Evaz follow the religion Islam Sunni despite being the minority in Iran who follow this belief.[4] It is also known for its fast growing towns in the region due in large part to a number of Evazi individuals that provide financial support for the development of robust academic infrastucture.[5]
