Punjab Province (British India)

Summary

The Punjab Province, officially the Province of Punjab, was a province of British Raj, with its capital in Lahore and summer capitals in Murree and Simla. At its greatest extent, it stretched from the Khyber Pass to Delhi; and from the Babusar Pass and the borders of Tibet to the borders of Sind. Established in 1849 following Punjab's annexation, the province was partitioned in 1947 into East and West Punjab; and incorporated into India and Pakistan, respectively.
