Sargodha City Of Pakistan

Sargodha is a city and capital of Sargodha Division, located in Punjab province, Pakistan. It is Pakistan's 12th largest city by population and one of the fastest growing cities of the country. Sargodha is also known as the City of Eagles. It is one of the few planned cities of Pakistan.

Sargodha District (Urdu: ضِلع سرگودها‎), is a district of Punjab, Pakistan. The capital of the district is Sargodha. It is an agricultural district, wheat, rice, and sugarcane being its main crops. The Sargodha district and region is also famous for citrus fruit including Kinnow, orange and lemon.

Sargodha is considered the best citrus-producing area of Pakistan and therefore is also known as the California of Pakistan. Sargodha is largest Kinnow-producing district of the world.

The term “Sargodha” has its origins in the words “sar” meaning “pond” and “godha” meaning “sadhu”. In Punjabi, “sar” is used for pond, so it is named as “Sargodha” which means “Pond of Godha”. This is also little contradictory because order of words does not reflect pujabi usage.
