[edit] History
Lahore Division was originally an administrative division of the Punjab Province of British India. It extended along the right bank of the Sutlej River from the Himalaya to Multan, and comprised the six districts of Sialkot, Gujranwala, Montgomery, Lahore, Amritsar, and Gurdaspur. The total area of the division was 17,154 sq. mi and the population according to the 1901 census of India was 5,598,463.[1] The commissioner for the division also exercised political control over the hill state of Chamba. With the Partition of British India into the independent states of India and Pakistan in 1947, Lahore Division was divided among the two countries.
