Peshawar Division
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peshawar Division was an administrative division of the North-West Frontier Province of Pakistan until the reforms of 2000 abolished the third tier of government. At independence in 1947, the North-West Frontier Province was split into two divisions, Dera Ismail Khan and Peshawar. Until 1976, Peshawar Division contained the districts of Hazara and Kohat, when they both became divisions themselves.
[edit] History
Peshawar Division was originally a district of the North-West Frontier Province of British India.[1] The district was administratively subdivided into five tehsils, these were:[2]

After the independence of Pakistan in 1947, the tehsil of Peshawar became the new district of Peshawar. At that time the old district became a division.
