Short History:

After being occupied by the British in 1849, it was valued as a defensive center in northwest India. From 1959 to 1967, during the construction of the new capital, Islamabad, it served as a temporary capital. The whole city is divided into a new city and an old city. 

The new city was a camp of the British colonial army. It is now the residence of senior government officials and wealthy businessmen. The market is prosperous and the transportation is convenient. 

Industry:

 Rawalpindi is a storage center for timber and livestock, textile, food, chemical, metal, and other industries. It is an important industrial and commercial area in Pakistan. It is a transportation hub and the starting point of the passage to Kashmir. There is a Lahore-Peshawar railway passing through, and there are highways connecting Afghanistan, Srinagar, and Lahore. It has an airport and is in the Himalayas and the Ganges Plain. The remains of the British rule can be seen everywhere in the urban area, which is in sharp contrast with the Raja Basha area full of oriental style.

There are Liakat Gardens, Ayub National Park, and 6 colleges of Punjab University in the city.

The construction of the new capital Islamabad, 14 kilometers northeast of the city, connects the two together to form the Islamabad-Rawalpindi metropolitan area.
