Sari /Säré/ is the capital of Mazandaran located in the north of Iran on north of the Alborz Mountains and southern coast of Caspian (Mazandaran) Sea. It's population is estimated at 262,627 However the fact is, the population of sari is very more than that estimate. It has a land area of 5089 square kilometers.
The word Sari is reminiscent of Sarouyeh, Son of Farkhan, the Great, King of Tabaristan.

Excavations in Hutto cave give the evidence for existence of settlements around Sari as far back as more than 70th millennium BC. The Muslim Historian Hamdollah Mostowfi attributes the foundation of Sari to king Tahmoures Divband of the Pishdadi dynasty. Also native people of sari have a folklore that the city was populated at about 4th millennium BC when Smith Kaveh (native of this city) revolted against tyranny of Arab Zahak. After that success, Fereydun of Pishdadi who thought that he was indebted to Kaveh choose this city to live near him until his death. For this reason, when Iraj (Son of Fereydun) was murdered by Touraj & Salam, they buried him here, Most of the people consider that Espahbod Tous-e Nouzar (great grandson of Fereidun) systematicly founded it as a city.
Also recognition by Greek historians go back to at least 6th century BC (Achaemenid dynasty) when they recorded it as Zadrakarta which then destroyed by Alexander of Macedonia. However, he directed the construction of new city and they call it "Syrinx" after the name of his lieutenant general. The city was a regional capital again in Sassanid dynasty.

It allows anyone to have one home whenever most neighborhoods of city have quite expensive prices for purpose of buying properties, because of its healthy weather.
