Islamabad officially became the capital of Pakistan on 14 August 1967, exactly 20 years after the country’s independence. The first capital of Pakistan was the coastal city of Karachi in Sindh, which was selected by Muhammad Ali Jinnah. Karachi was and still is the largest city and economic capital of Pakistan. It remained the seat of government until 1959, when the military president, Ayub Khan, decided to build a new capital, Islamabad in the north of Pakistan, near the general headquarters of the Pakistani Armed Forces which is in Rawaldi. During this process, Rawaldi was the interim capital. The name of Islamabad was influenced from the Mughal name of the Bengali port city of Chittagong which was Islamabad.
In 1962, Dhaka was made the legislative capital of the country due to East Pakistan’s high population.
The reasons for relocating the capital from Karachi are that it would reflect the diversity of the Pakistani people, it would be separated from the business and commercial activity of Karachi, and also it would be easily accessible from all parts of the country. The move to Islamabad was not completed until the late 1960s and for some years several government ministries were based in nearby Rawaldi.
Pakistan’s capital Islamabad is a planned city built to replace the former capitals Karachi and Rawaldi, which was the temporary capital of the country between 1959 and 1967. Islamabad has a population of more than 1 million inhabitants (2017 census).
