Rudsar (Persian: رودسر, also known as, Roodsar, Rūdsar and Rūd-i-Sar)[3] is a city in the Central District of Rudsar County, Gilan province, Iran, serving as both capital of the district and of the county.
At the 2006 National Census, its population was 33,321 in 9,741 households.[4] The following census in 2011 counted 37,579 people in 11,903 households.[5] The latest census in 2016 showed a population of 37,998 people in 13,191 households.[2]
The word Rudsar comes from the word Rud, the Persian word for river, and sar, the Persian word for head, since Rudsar has rivers running along each side of the city.
According to valid historical documents, the ancient name of Roodsar was "Koutum", which was a small city in Rankooh. The other name of Roodsar was "Hoosem" that had a thriving bazaar and big mosque in the year 375 AH. Later on this city was ruined due to unknown reasons, and was reconstructed by Seyed Reza Kiya during the years 789-831 AH.
It was occupied by Russian forces along with the rest of northern Iran in the early 1900s.
