Sharafabad (Persian: شرف اباد‎, also Romanized as Sharafābād)[1] is a village in Kuhsar Rural District, in the Central District of Shazand County, Markazi Province, Iran, close to Lake Urumia.[2] The village was founded by Sharaf-ud-din in 1210 AD and was named after himself. At the 2006 census, its existence was noted, but its population was not reported.[3] The trade is mainly in grain, cotton, molasses as well as some deposits of gold.[4][5] Archaeologists discovered many clay pots from the Uruk period in Sharafabad, the pots were burned as offerings to deities.[6] During a two-year drought the inhabitants switched to handicraft production to supplement income in order to survive.[7]
