North Khorasan province (Persian: استان خراسان شمالی)[a] is one of the 31 provinces of Iran, located in the northeast of the country. Its capital is the city of Bojnord.[4]
North Khorasan is one of the three provinces that were created after the division of Khorasan in 2004. Khorasan was the largest province of Iran until it was divided into three provinces on September 29, 2004. The provinces approved by the parliament of Iran (on May 18, 2004) and the Council of Guardians (on May 29, 2004) were Razavi Khorasan, North Khorasan, and South Khorasan. In 2014 it was placed in Region 5.[5]
