Baqubah is the capital of Iraq's Diyala Governorate.
The city is located some 50 km (30 miles) to the northeast of Baghdad, on the Diyala River, just outside Iraq's so-called Sunni Triangle. In 2003 it had an estimated population of some 467,900 people.
The site has been inhabited continuously since pre-Islamic times as a center for agriculture and commerce. The name itself is thought to have come from the Assyrian language Baya 'quba, meaning "Yacoub's (Jacob) house." It served as a way station between Baghdad and Khorasan on the medieval Silk Road. It is now known as the center of Iraq's commercial orange groves. |
