is a city in the Central District of North Savadkuh County, Mazandaran province, Iran, serving as capital of both the county and the district. The road connecting Tehran to Qaem Shahr passes through the city, as does the railway from Tehran to the north.

==History== It seems that this city does not have much documented history, because the early inhabitants of the city lived in Chali and Tappeh Sar, and especially in Ab Dang Sar. The city's inhabitants built their houses on highlands so that they could defend themselves against thieves and rebels.
