Larestan County (Persian: شهرستان لارستان‎‎) is a county in Fars Province in Iran. The capital of the county is Lar.[1] The county has eight cities: Lar, Evaz, Beyram, Banaruiyeh, Fishvar, Juyom, Khur, and Latifi. The county is subdivided into six districts: the Central District, Beyram, Evaz District, Banaruiyeh, Sahray Bagh, and Juyom.

The historical region of Larestan & Lamerd consists of several counties in Fars province (Lar, Khonj, Gerash County, Lamerd) and Bastak County in Hormozgan.

Larestani people speak the Larestani language.[2][3] Larestani people are of Persian descent,[4] the majority of Larestani people are Sunnis.[4][5][6][7] Larestani people call themselves "Khodmooni".

Under medieval age, Laristan was ruled by the local dynasty of Miladi, until it was removed by a Safavid invasion in 1610. In the thirteenth century, Larestan briefly became a center of trade and commerce in southern Persia.[4] Larestan was nearly always an obscure region, never becoming involved in the politics and conflicts of mainstream Persia.[4]
