History

The online edition of the Dehkhoda Dictionary, quoting Iranian Army files,[7] refers to Jananlu as a Malaria-infested location with a population of 284.[8] At the time, Jananlu was the largest village of Minjavan District.[9] Moreover, a clan of Mohammad Khanlu tribe, comprising 60 households, used the village as their winter quarters.[10] At the 2006 census, its population was 604, in 153 families.[11] According to a more recent statistics, by 2012, the population had increased to 1786 people in 496 families.[12] This rate of population growth is perhaps the highest in Arasbaran region, and it is expected that the village will be designated as a city in near future.
