Kut-e Abdollah (Persian: كوت عبدالله) is a city in the Central District of Karun County, Khuzestan province, Iran, serving capital of both the county and the district. The city is the merger of the former villages of Astishan, Darvishabad, Gavmishabad, Gondamakar, Hadiabad, Khazami, Kut-e Abdollah, Kut-e Navaser, Kuy-e Montazeri, and Shariati-ye Yek.[2]
At the time of the 2006 National Census, the population (as the total of its constituent villages before the merger) was 64,808 in 11,903 households, when it was in Kut-e Abdollah Rural District of the Central District of Ahvaz County.[3] The following census in 2011 counted 63,639 people in 14,128 households.[4] The 2016 census measured the population as 56,252 people in 14,714 households,[5] by which time the rural district had been separated from the county in the establishment of Karun County and the villages had merged to become the city of Kut-e Abdollah. The rural district was transferred to the new Central District.[2]
