Rahim Yar Khan, a city situated extreme south of Southern Punjab, is a vibrant and progressive city. Previously known as Noshehra was named Rahim Yar Khan in 1809 by Nawab Muhammad Sadiq Khan after his first son. In 1930 the city was designated as a District Headquarter and in 1942 became an industrial zone and Cotton Centre with advent of several industrial units and factories all over the town. Two landmark factories of Abbasia Textile Mills and Sadiq Vegetable & Oil Mills (now Unilever) were established in 1950, which added more in the urbanization of the city. This urbanization continued since then and now the city is one of the modern district headquarters in Punjab with decent civic facilities and infrastructure.
