Shalimar (Punjabi, Template:Langx) is an administrative town (tehsil) in Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan.[1] It forms one of the 10 municipalities of Lahore City District.[2]

History

Shalimar is one of the oldest neighbourhoods in Lahore, located along the historic Grand Trunk Road. Settlement of this area dates back to the 15th century during the Mughul Empire. The town is named after the Shalimar Gardens, built by Emperor Shah Jahan in 1640.[3] The Mela Chiraghan festival used to take place at Shalimar Gardens, until President Ayub Khan ordered against it in 1958. Shalimar was officially declared a township in 1962 and became an administrative town (tehsil) of Lahore City District in 2001.
