Pakistan
/ Karachi / History
Karachi's
recorded history goes back to the 18th century when it was a small
fishing village known as Karachi-jo-Goth. With the development
of its harbour it gradually grew into a large city and an important
centre of trade and industry.
Its selection
as capital of Pakistan in 1947 added to its importance and tremendously
boosted the rate of its growth and development. Although the seat
of Government has now been shifted to Islamabad, Karachi still
remains the epicentre of commerce and industry.
