BAMPUR

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 305 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BAI-BAR
BAMPUR , a town of Persia, in the province of
Baluchistan
 , 330 M. S.E. of Kerman, in 27 12' N., 6o 24' E., at an
elevation
  of 1720 ft. Pop. about 2oo0. It is the
capital
  of the province and situated on the banks of the Bampur river which flows from
east
  to west and empties itself about 70 M. W. into a hamun, or depression, 5o M. in length, and called Jaz-morian. The oldcitadel of Bampur which crowned an
elevation
  about Too ft. in height, 3 M. north of the river, having completely fallen in ruins, a new fort called Kalah Nasseri, was built at Fahraj, 15 M. further
east
 , in the eighties; and Fahraj, which now has a
population
  of about 2500, has become more important than Bampur. Fahraj, which is also known as Pahura, Paharu, Puhra, is by some identified as the Poura where Alexander the
Great
  halted on his
march
  from India, but others are more in favour of another Fahraj near Barn, or even of Bampur itself.
