Havar (Persian: هاور)[a] is a village in Almeh Rural District[4] of Samalqan District in Samalqan County,[b] North Khorasan province, Iran.

Demographics

Population

At the time of the 2006 National Census, the village's population was 228 in 56 households.[6] The following census in 2011 counted 189 people in 48 households.[7] The 2016 census measured the population of the village as 180 people in 48 households.[2]

Overview

Havar is noteworthy for marking the easternmost extremity of the highly biodiverse Caspian Hyrcanian mixed forests—most of which are to be found fringing the Caspian Sea. The spur of forest that Havar shares with the villages of Jowzak, Darkesh, and Kashanak owes its extension into the more arid regions to the east of the Caspian Sea to the trapping of moisture from the body of water by the Aladagh Mountains, which form an extension at lower altitude of the Alborz mountains to the west.

This forested area lies within the Khorasani Kurdish region of northeastern Iran and southwestern Turkmenistan. The only substantial settlement close to Havar and its neighboring villages is Bojnord, the capital of North Khorasan province.
