Shahin Shahr (Persian: شاهين شهر،شایین شهر)[a] is a city in the Central District of Shahin Shahr and Meymeh County, Isfahan province, Iran, serving as capital of both the county and the district.[4]

Shahin Shahr was Iran's first master-planned satellite city, approximately 15 miles (24 km) to the north of Isfahan, Iran's second-largest metropolitan area and its historic capital. A high proportion of the residents are displaced Iran-Iraq war refugees originally from Khuzestan.[citation needed] The city's original plan envisioned 50,000 homes and a maximum population of 250,000. The city currently ranks among the 50 largest in Iran.[citation needed]
