FAISALABAD
Faisalabad formerly known as Lyallpur is the third largest city of Pakistan with a population of nearly 3.0 million. The city is situated between river Chenab and Ravi. It was established in 1896 which irrigated the vast terrain of Rachna Doab. This irrigation system converted the area into the granary of North India where people from all over Punjab, famous for their agricultural skills, settled and gave rise to a new city called Lyallpur named after Sir James B. Lyall, British Lieutenant Governor of Punjab (1887- 1892) in recognition of his contribution to the establishment of this new city. The name of this city was changed to Faisalabad in 1977 after the Saudi Arabian King Faisal who was a great friend of Pakistan.
It is an important industrial centre west of Lahore. The city-district of Faisalabad is bound on the North by the districts of Gujranwala and Sheikhupura, on the East by Sahiwal, on the South by Toba Tek Singh and on the West by Jhang.
