Demographics

[edit]

Population

[edit]

At the time of the 2006 National Census, the village's population was 581 in 170 households.[5] The following census in 2011 counted 387 people in 133 households.[6] The 2016 census measured the population of the village as 454 people in 158 households. It was the most populous village in its rural district.[2]

History

[edit]

Ab Ask was a fairly old settlement in Larijan, being mentioned by Ibn Isfandiyar in 1216. Remainders of caves around the settlement can still be found, considered to have potentially been ancient village remnants. Some were used to store livestock within. These caves are also mentioned in 1882, as homes for the villagers.[7]

Overview

[edit]

Ab Ask is famous for its mineral hot springs sources from Mount Damavand, the highest peak in Iran, with an elevation of 5610 m above sea level. Agriculture and livestock are the main occupation of local residents.

Ab Ask is also a very popular fishing spot with an ample amount of red-spot trout fish. The majority of Amol's population is originally from Larijan District, and those from Ab Ask are known as Aski.

Most of the Aski people in Amol own a property in Ab Ask and spend their weekends there, specifically during spring and summer when the weather is quite cool and pleasant by driving about an hour over the Haraz Road.[citation needed]
