Fuladshahr (Persian: فولادشهر), also Romanized as Fūlādshahr and Fūlād Shahr; formerly, Pūlād Shahr[3] ("Steel City"), is a city in, and the capital of, Fuladshahr District of Lenjan County, Isfahan province, Iran. It is also the administrative center for Khorram Rud Rural District.[4]

At the 2006 census, its population was 55,496 in 13,822 households, when it was in the Central District.[5] The following census in 2011 counted 66,903 people in 18,615 households.[6] The latest census in 2016 showed a population of 88,426 people in 26,631 households.[2]

After the census, Ashiyan-e Shomali Rural District, Khorram Rud Rural District, and the city of Fuladshahr were separated from the district in the establishment of Fuladshahr District. Additionally, Ashiyan-e Jonubi Rural District and Kariz Rural District were established in the Central District.[4]

The city is 25 kilometres (16 mi) south of Isfahan and about 100 kilometres (62 mi) north of Shahrekord. It was built during the Shah of Iran period, and was home to the mostly Russian and other employees of the Zob Ahan factory, located near the city. The world's third-largest cement factory at the time, the Siman Sepahan Dizicheh or Siman Arya Dizicheh as it was called before the Iranian revolution, is also near the city.
