Zanjan زنجان
Zanjan is a city and province of north-west Iran, about halfway along the Tehran to Tabriz railway; the district between Zanjan and Qazvin is known as Khamseh, unrelated to the Khamseh tribes of Fars. Inallu and Afshar groups, both also called Shahsavan, settled in Khamseh, Kharaqan and Tarom; most Shahsavan of Khamseh and Kharaqan were settled by 1900. Most of our Zanjan rugs come from the village of Qoltuq.
