Baghestan (Persian: باغستان), formerly Baghestan-e Olya (باغستان عليا), also Romanized as Bāghestān; also known as Bāghestān-e Ferdows, Bāghestān-e Olyā and Bāghestān-e Bālā,[3] is a city in Eslamiyeh District of Ferdows County, South Khorasan province, Iran.[4]

At the 2006 census, its population was 2,044 in 628 households, when it was a village in Baghestan Rural District of the Central District.[5] The following census in 2011 counted 2,467 people in 739 households.[6] The latest census in 2016 showed a population of 2,704 people in 757 households.[2]

In May 2020, Baghestan Rural District, Borun Rural District, and the city of Eslamiyeh were separated from the Central District in the establishment of Eslamiyeh District, which was divided into two rural districts and the city. At the same time, the village of Baghestan-e Olya was elevated to the status of the city of Baghestan. The village of Baghestan-e Sofla became the new capital of Baghestan Rural District.[4]
