Gol (Persian: گل)[a] is a village in, and the capital of, Barakuh Rural District of Jolgeh-ye Mazhan District, Khusf County, South Khorasan province, Iran.[4]
It is said that about a few centuries ago, Gol had a much larger population than Khusf, due to better climate and the amount of groundwater. Due to its remoteness from transportation routes and successive droughts and the lack of attention of the rulers to the agricultural activities, its population has been declining throughout history. According to data obtained from elders of the village, the British and Russians were commuting in this place and there are still the remains of the caravanserais where they stopped and rested.[citation needed]
