Abstract

 
The establishment and growth of the textile industry in the Pahlavi era made Mazandaran one of the poles in the industry in Iran. Mazandaran textile Industries played a considerable role in Iran's self-sufficiency in the 1340s on the solar calendar. However, during its establishment and flourishing period, Mazandaran textile Industry faced numerous challenges, including a shortage of skilled manpower and the impacts of political tensions.
With the fall of the Pahlavi dynasty, which was the founder of the modern textile industry in Mazandaran, textile factories in the city continued to exist at the local level after the Islamic Revolution. But they were never able to restore their previous flourishing condition. In recent years, weaknesses in various areas have resulted in the closure of the industry.
A correct understanding of the event necessitates the need to review the history of the growth of this industry in Mazandaran. The following article is based on documents and press left from that era, along with written sources and interviews, and field studies of former workers in the industry. It aims to historically rebuild this local industry and explore its role in Iran's national industries.
