Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: KRO-LAP
KUM , a small province in Persia, between
Teheran
  on the N. and Kashan on the S. It is divided into seven buluk (districts): (t) Humeh, with town; (2) Kumrud; (3) Vazkerud; (4) KinarRud Khaneh; (5) Kuhistan; (6) Jasb; (7) Ardahal; has a population of 45,000 to 50,000, and pays a yearly revenue of about 8000. The province produces much
grain
  and a fine quality of
cotton
  with a very
long
  staple.
Kum, the
capital
 , in 340 39' N. and 50 55' E., on the Anarbar river, which rises near
Khunsar
 , has an
elevation
  of 3100 ft. It owes much of its importance to the fact that it contains the tomb of Imam Reza's
sister
  Fatmeh, who died there A.D. 816, and large numbers of pilgrims visit the city during six or seven months of the year. The fixed population is between 25,000 and 30,000. A carriage road 92 M. in length, constructed in 2890-1893, connects the city with
Teheran
 . It has post and telegraph offices.
See Eastern Persian Irak, R. G. S. suppl. (London, 1896).
