Maqsudlu tribe from Qarabagh in Astarabad
Province
The dress of the people of Astarabad is the same as
that of the Mazandaranis, and most of them speak both Persian and Turkish.
Besides the native peasantry, there are about 100 families from Kara Bagh
settled here and called Maqsudlis, and from 100 to 120 families of Baluchis. Of
the Kajar tribe, there are now only about 500 families―400 in the town and 100
among the villages; the rest are scattered all over Persia, with the various governors
of provinces who have been chosen from this tribe.
