Najafabad نجف‌آباد

Najafabad is a town west of Isfahan in central Iran, the centre of a county in the irrigated Zayandeh River oasis. Iranica records carpet weaving in the Najafabad valley, formerly dominated by master contractors (ostad-kar) who supplied the weavers; by the Pahlavi period few remained, and weavers sold to itinerant traders and other middlemen.
