Khushab District, Administrative district in Punjab, Pakistan
Khushab District encompasses 6,511 square kilometers of land between Sargodha and Mianwali, featuring agricultural plains, desert regions, and three natural lakes.
The district emerged from Sargodha District on July 2, 1982, following administrative reorganization of Punjab province that created new territorial divisions.
The district name derives from Persian words meaning sweet water, reflecting the local connection to the Jhelum River that sustains the regional agriculture.
The territory divides into four administrative tehsils - Khushab, Noorpur Thal, Quaidabad, and Naushera - with Jauharabad serving as the district capital.
The district contains the Khushab Nuclear Complex, a research facility that operates heavy water and natural uranium reactors for scientific applications.
