Bannu Cantonment, Military cantonment in Bannu District, Pakistan

The Bannu Cantonment extends across 4.298 square kilometers of land, serving as a strategic military installation in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.

Lieutenant Herbert Benjamin Edwardes established the original fort named Dhulipgarh in 1848 during the East India Company administration of the region.

The cantonment maintains separate residential zones for military personnel and civilians, forming a structured community within its defined boundaries.

The Cantonment Board manages essential services including waste collection, road maintenance, and public utilities for the population of 8,320 residents.

The jurisdiction received its current borders through the Ministry of Defence Notification 1035/53 in October 1953, after multiple boundary revisions.
