Karachi Cantonment, Military cantonment district in Karachi, Pakistan.

The Karachi Cantonment covers 993 square kilometers and contains the largest railway station in Pakistan, alongside military and administrative facilities.

The British Army established this military base in August 1942, which transferred to Pakistan Army control following the partition of India in 1947.

The cantonment area features diverse architectural elements, including St. Anthony's Church, Fleet Club, and Services Club, reflecting military and civilian influences.

The Cantonment Board manages essential services, including sanitation, road maintenance, and property records for a population of 86,338 residents.

The Dumlottee Wells, constructed in 1881, supplied five million gallons of water daily through a system designed by British engineers Temple and Currie.
