Firozpur district
Firozpur district ((パンジャーブ語:ਫ਼ਿਰੋਜ਼ਪੁਰ ਜ਼ਿਲ੍ਹਾ)) is one of the twenty-two districts in the state of Punjab located in the North-West of the Republic of India. Firozpur district comprises an area of 5,305 km2 (2,048 sq miles). Prior to split of Firozpur district with the addition of Fazilka district, it comprised an area of 11,142 km2. The surface is level, with the exception of a few sand-hills in the south and south-east. The country consists of two distinct tracts that are liable to annual fertilizing inundations from the Sutlej, the only river, which runs along the north-western boundary. The principal crops are wheat, barley, millet, gram, pulses, oil seeds and cotton. The manufactures are of the humblest kind, consisting chiefly of cotton and wool-weaving and are confined entirely to the supply of local needs. The other important towns and areas of commerce are Zira, Dharmkot, Mallanwalla, Bharana and Talwandi Bhai. Owing principally to the dryness of its climate (apart from annual rains in July and August), Firozpur has the reputation of being an exceptionally healthy district. It has a large number of rice mills and used to be a big trading centre before the partition of India.
Firozpur is the capital city of the district. It is situated inside ten gates -- Amritsari Gate, Wansi Gate, Makhu Gate, Zira Gate, Bagdadi Gate, Mori Gate, Delhi Gate, Magjani Gate, Multani Gate and Kasuri Gate. The Firozpur City adjoining Firozpur Cantonment combines with the city to give the district its most urban hub. It is one of the oldest cantonments in India.
==History==
Firozpur District was part of the Mamdot estate. The capital city, Firozpur, is believed to have been founded by Firoz Shah Tughlaq from which the district obtains its name. In 1838, as part of the first Anglo-Afghan war, troops of the British East India Company marched from Firozpur to Kabul. Seven years later during the Anglo-Sikh War the area was the scene of conflict between the Khalsa army and the British. It has always remained an important place throughout its existence. It has always remained as a border area, earlier between the Sikhs and the British and now between India and Pakistan.〔(History - Firozpur Online )〕
