Sargodha (Punjabi and Urdu: {{Nastaliq|سرگودھا) is a city and capital of Sargodha Division, located in Punjab province, Pakistan. It is Pakistan's 12th largest city by population[14] and one of the fastest-growing cities of the country.[15] Sargodha is also known as the City of Eagles on account of hosting the headquarters of the Pakistan Air Force. It is one of the few planned cities of Pakistan (others include Faisalabad, Islamabad and Gwadar).[16]

History

Sargodha was established by the British as a canal-colony in 1903, and was initially spelled Sargoda.[17] Sargodha was badly affected by an outbreak of the bubonic plague in 1903, and experienced a milder outbreak in 1904.[18] Although it was a small town in the beginning, the British Royal Air Force built an airport here due to its strategic location.[19] The term "Sargodha" has its origin in the words "Sar" (from "sarowar") meaning "pond" and "Godha" meaning "Sadhu", which means "Pond of Godha". This city was founded by Lady Trooper by the supervision of Sir Charles Montgomery Rivaz KCSI (1845 – 7 October 1926), a colonial administrator in British India and Lieutenant-Governor of the Punjab from 1902 to 1907.[16] Being the District Headquarters since 1940, Sargodha was given the status of Divisional Headquarters in 1960.[20]
