Bushehr or Bushire (:buːˈʃeɾ) ((ペルシア語:بوشهر); also Romanized as Būshehr, Bouchehr, Buschir, and Busehr; also Bandar Bushehr ((ペルシア語:بندر بوشهر)), also Romanized as Bandar Būshehr and Bandar-e Būshehr; previously known as Beh Ardasher Antiochia in Persis (Greek: Αντιόχεια της Περσίδος) and Bukht Ardashir, is the capital city of Bushehr Province, Iran. At the 2006 census, its population was 161,674, in 40,771 families. Bushehr lies in a vast plain running along the coastal region on the Persian Gulf coast of southwestern Iran, it is built near the ancient port city of Rishahr/Reshire (Sassanian, Riv Ardasher). It was the chief seaport of the country and is the administrative centre of its province. Its location is about south of Tehran. The local climate is humid. Bushehr was the main trade center of Iran in the past centuries. The city structures are traditional in style, modest in proportion and cost. Due to its lack of rail connection to the interior of the country and its shallow anchorage, it has lost its position as the primary port of Iran. ==History== To the south of the present city, at Reeshire, are the remains of an earlier Elamite (c 3000 BCE) settlement. During the Greek Macedonian Seleucid dynasty the city was refounded as Antiochia in Persis (Αντιόχεια της Περσίδος) by Seleucus Nicator. A few decades later the city was rebuilt by Seleucus's son Antiochus who transferred there colonists from Magnesia. Also the Seleucid king Antiochus stayed there for a while in 205 B.C. after his campaign to the eastern provinces (212 -205 B.C.). Antiochia remained under Greek Seleucid rule until circa 170 B.C. It was one of the most important ports of the Sasanian navy and was named after the first king of this dynasty, Ardashir I. In the 5th century AD, Bushehr was the seat of the Nestorian Christian expansion into southern Iran. In 1737 the Dutch East India Company opened a trading post in Bushehr, which lasted until 1753. In 1763 the ruler of Bushehr granted the British East India Company the right to build a base and trading post there. It was used as a base by the British Royal Navy in the late 18th century. In the 19th century, Bushehr became an important commercial port. It was occupied by British forces in 1856, during the Anglo-Persian War 1856-1857. Bushehr surrendered to the British on December 9, 1856. It was occupied by the British again in 1915, the second time due to German intrigue, most notably by Wilhelm Wassmuss. Industries include fishing and a thermoelectric power plant, while the inland area (also called Bushehr) produces Shiraz wine , metalwork, rugs and other textiles, cement, and fertilizer. The Iranian navy maintains a base here. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bushehr」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
