KURDISTAN

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 951 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: KRO-LAP
KURDISTAN , in the narrower sense, a province of Persia, situated in the hilly districts between Azerbaijan and Kerman-shah, and extending to the Turkish frontier on the W., and bounded on the E. by Gerrus and
Hamadan
 . In proportion to its size and
population
  it pays a very small yearly revenue only about 14,000due to the fact that a
great
 
part
  of the
population
  consists of wild and disorderly
nomad
  Kurds. Some of these nomads pass their winters in Turkish territory, and have their summer pasture-grounds in the highlands of Kurdistan. This adds much to the difficulty of collecting
taxation
 . The province is divided into sixteen districts, and its eastern
part
 , in which the
capital
  is situated, is known as Ardelan. The
capital
  is Senendij, usually known as Sinna (not Sihna, or Sahna, as some writers have it), situated 6o m. N.W. of
Hamadan
 , in 350 15' N., 470 18' E., at an
elevation
  of J300 ft. The city has a population of about 35,000 and manufactures
great
  quantities of carpets and felts for the
supply
  of the province and for export. Some of the carpets are very fine and expensive, rugs 2 yards by 12 costing 15 to 20. Post and telegraph offices have been established since 1879.
