Nazimabad
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nazimabad (Urdu: ناظم آباد) is a suburb of Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan.
Nazimabad was developed in the early 1950s to settle Muslim refugees in Pakistan. This suburb was named after Khawaja Nazimuddin who was the second Governor-General of Pakistan, and later the second Prime Minister of Pakistan as well.
In late 1950s, the northern extension of Nazimabad, North Nazimabad, was developed as a residential area for federal government employees. But in the early 1960s the capital of Pakistan was transferred from Karachi to newly developed capital Islamabad.
In 2002, Karachi was divided into towns. Nazimabad was made part of the Liaquatabad Town. While North Nazimabad was named as one of the towns of Karachi.
