Galugah (Persian: گلوگاه, also Romanized as Galūgāh)[3] is a city in the Central District of Galugah County, Mazandaran province, Iran, serving as capital of both the county and the district.[4] The people of Galugah speak Mazandarani[5] and Azerbaijani languages.[6] Galugah is on northern slopes of the Alborz mountain chain, and because it is close to the Caspian Sea from the other side, its atmosphere is mainly humid and damp.[citation needed]

At the 2006 census, its population was 18,720 in 4,927 households.[7] The following census in 2011 counted 19,625 people in 5,719 households.[8] The latest census in 2016 showed a population of 21,352 people in 6,898 households.[2]
