Arabic 'abbadan
city, extreme southwestern Iran. The city is situated in Khuzestan, part of the oil-producing region of Iran. Abadan lies on an island of the same name along the eastern bank of the Shatt Al-'Arab (river), 33 miles (53 km) from the Persian Gulf. The city thus lies along Iran's border with Iraq. Abadan Island is bounded on the west by the Shatt Al-'Arab and on the east by the Bahmanshir, which is an outlet of the Karun River. The island is 42 miles (68 km) long and from 2 to 12 miles (3 to 19 km) wide.
Reputedly founded by a holy man, 'Abbad, in the 8th century, Abadan was a prosperous coastal town in the 'Abbasid period and was known for its salt and woven mats. But the extension of the delta of the Shatt Al-'Arab by silt deposition caused the coast of the Persian Gulf to gradually recede from Abadan. By the time the town was visited by the Arab geographer Ibn Battutah in the 14th century, it was described as little more than a large village in a flat, salty plain.
