Jālq (native pronunciation) is Iran's easternmost city. Jaleq is near the border with Pakistan and is mainly inhabited by Iranian Baluchis. The name Jaleq is Persian and means "the trodden place."

In 2019, Jaleq District was separated from Saravan County to form Golshan County. It was then divided into the Central and Kalleh Gan Districts. Nahuk Rural District was transferred to the Central District of Saravan County.[4]
