Jalalabad (, also Romanized as Jalālābād) is a village located in the Central District of Semirom County, within Isfahan Province, Iran. Administratively, it forms part of the Vardasht Rural District (alternatively reported as Kaveh Ahangar Rural District in some sources).
Geography
Jalalabad lies in the western foothills of the Zagros Mountains, an area characterized by a mountainous terrain and a climate that ranges from cold winters to mild summers. The village's coordinates are approximately 30° 54' N latitude and 51° 35' E longitude.
Demographics
According to the 2006 national census of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Jalalabad had a population of 156 individuals, comprising 35 families. Subsequent census data have not been publicly released, and therefore current population figures are not available.
Economy and Infrastructure
The local economy is primarily based on agriculture and animal husbandry, typical of rural settlements in the Semirom region. Residents cultivate crops such as wheat, barley, and various horticultural products adapted to the highland climate. Basic infrastructure includes a village road network connecting Jalalabad to the county capital, Semirom, and access to electricity and potable water services administered by provincial authorities.
Cultural and Historical Context
No notable historic monuments or cultural institutions have been documented in publicly available sources for Jalalabad. The village's name—combining the Persian personal name “Jalal” with the suffix “‑ābād,” meaning “inhabited place” or “settlement”—suggests it was likely founded or renamed in honor of an individual named Jalal.
