Hyderabad and Multan, but the city’s economy received a boost during
the building of Islamabad (1959–1969), during which time Rawalpindi
served as the national capital and its population increased from 180,000
at the time of independence to over 4.5 million in 2007. Rawalpindi is
in the northernmost part of the Punjab province, 275 km (171 mi) to the

District. The total area of the city is approximately 108.8
square kilometers (42.0 sq mi). Rawalpindi is the military headquarters
