Chak, Sindh
Chak (Sindhi: چڪ) is a town situated on the west bank of Indus River in Shikarpur District, Sindh, Pakistan. It is an economic, educational, social and transport hub of the adjoining towns and villages of the region. It is home to a population of more than 40,000 people and is a fast-growing town with good literacy rate and improving infrastructure. Chak also has an important place in Shikarpur District politically, socially and economically. Historically, Chak had been part of Sukkur District but in the late 1970s it was made part of Shikarpur District. Chak shares strong economic and social ties with Sukkur because of the natural geographic and trade route proximity.
== Origin of the word 'Chak' ==
The word ‘Chak’ is said to be derived from a Sindhi language word ‘''chakki''’, meaning pot wheel, which is used to make pottery from clay. The clay used to be obtained from the ‘''cheeki matti''’, the mud from inside the nearby 'Kacha' area, which is the area between two levees of the Indus River bordering the town. It is said that there used to live many potters in the area and the town got its name from the ‘''chakki''’ (pot wheel) used by these people.
