The village of Torud, despite being the largest farm of palm trees in the northeast of Iran, shines like a jewel in the desert of Kavir, in 120 km south of Shahrud. The village of Torud with warm and dry weather is located on Shahrud to Isfahan road, and is a rich mining region with extraction of stones such as quartz. Torud Village in Shahrud has been damaged many times due to its location on the fault and the earthquake. The current Torud known as the fourth Torud was built after the earthquake of 1332 AD alongside the destroyed village. The origin of the name of the village dates back to the time that two large rivers accrete in this region. As the crops of this village, spicy garlic and sweet dates can be noted.
