Nishapur derived its name from its alleged founder, the Sasanian king Shapur. The region's economy is largely agricultural, based on grain and cotton, and it is also the second industrial city in Khorasan Province, and it is one of the most prosperous localities in Iran, although somewhat blighted by drug smuggling from nearby Afghanistan.

It was one of the largest cities and home to many scientists, poets, Sufis and others in the Golden Age of Islam. Muslims - particularly some Sahaba- built large mosques in the city.
