Faisalabad District

Faisalabad District is an administrative area in Punjab comprising six subdivisions known as Tehsils, each managing its own local affairs. This structure helps organize governance across the region, from urban centers to rural areas.

The area was separated from Jhang District in 1904 and was historically known as Lyallpur District before being renamed in 1979. This change reflected shifts in the region's development and identity.

The population of 9,075,819 residents primarily speaks Punjabi at 94.13 percent, while Islam represents the main religion at 96.48 percent.

The district is accessible by road from major cities and offers various transportation options for getting around. Visitors should plan routes in advance and check local conditions before traveling.

The region hosts a major textile industry with factories for spinning, weaving, printing, dyeing, and stitching. These industrial operations shape both the economy and the physical character of the area.
