About Tajrīsh
Tajrish (Persian: تجريش, pronounced [tædʒˈɾiːʃ]) refers both to a neighbourhood of Tehran, capital of Iran, and to a broader administrative city historically known as Shemiran. The city of Tajrish is synonymous with District 1 of Tehran along with adjacent parts of District 2 (such as Evin and Darakeh), and serves as the capital of Shemiranat County, Tehran province. At one time a village, it was later absorbed into the city of Tehran.

History
The location of the neighbourhood was once an ancient village, and in 1788, the Qajar dynasty chose this as their capital. It is known for its mountainous landscape. The area was often used as a summer retreat by city residents.
Until the 1920s, Tajrish and neighbouring Shemiranat were a collection of small villages along Tehran's city border. The area was relatively disconnected from Tehran's urban area with the exception of Old Shemiran Road, currently known as Shariati Avenue. During the Pahlavi era, with the construction of Pahlavi Street (now named Valiasr Street) in the 1930s and Modarres Highway, then known as Shahanshahi Boulevard, the Northern suburbs became accessible from downtown and extension became possible.
