Aminabad (Persian: امين اباد, also Romanized as Amīnābād) is a village in Esfarjan Rural District, in the Central District of Shahreza County, Isfahan Province, Iran. At the 2006 census, its population was 1,197, in 305 families.
Aminabad lies south of Shahreza, near the border of Fars Province along the main highway No. 7 connecting Isfahan to Shiraz.
With a population of around 1500 and increasing number of Ghashghai tribal people leaving nomadic life and settling there permanently, Amin Abad is a growing area and will soon be officially given the status of a city. Grape, wheat, stone fruits and sheep farming are among main industries in Amin Abad.
Amin Abad has a long history of human settlement, with old mud brick citadel of estimated age of more than 500 years. This amazing historical monument was unfortunately demolished with minimal or no official assessment by Iran Cultural Heritage Conservation Organization. Amin Abad caravanserai is a Safavid dynasty era structure and a major tourist attraction. Although no official study has been done, but according to elders, it seems that a mix of Bakhtiari Lors, Ghashghaie Turks, and Hassani Arabs but have gathered to form Amin Abad which is actually not true, for example Gashgaie Turks moved to (already existing) Amin Abad about only 50 years ago. But the real natives were Iranian. There are a number of clans now dominating the demographics of Amin Abad like Haj Abassgholi, Haj Mohammad Karim, Haj Mohammad Rahim, and Hamezei. These clans have family names like Hajimirzaalian, Aliani, Alian, Izadi, Hamzei and Mohammadkhani. The first clan though, the founder of Amin Abad was the family Yousefi.
