This article appears in Volume V19, Page 265 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NAN-NEW
NATANZ , a
minor
  province of Persia, situated in the hilly
district
  between Isfahan and Kashan, and held in fief by the family of the Hissam es Saltaneh (Sultan Murad Mirza, d. 1882). It contains eighty-two villages and hamlets, has a revenue of about 4000, and a population of about 23,000. It is divided into four districts: Barzrud, Natanzrud, Tarkrud and Badrud. Natanz
pears
  are famous throughout the country. The western
part
  of the province is traversed from north to
south
  by the old high-road between Kashan and Isfahan, with the well-known stations of Kuhrud (7140 ft.) and So (7560 ft.). This road was practically abandoned when the Indian government telegraph line, which ran along it, was removed to a road farther
east
  in 1906. The
capital
  of the little province is NATANZ, a large
village
  with a population of about 3000, situated 69 m. north of Isfahan, at an
elevation
  of 5670 ft. It has an old mosque, with a
minaret
  123 ft. in height, built in 1315.
