History of Karachi
Karachi began as the small fishing settlement of Kolachi and grew, under British rule from the 1840s, into the chief port of the subcontinent. After 1947 it became Pakistan's first capital and absorbed millions of migrants, becoming the country's largest city, financial capital and most ethnically diverse metropolis. Mohatta Palace, Frere Hall and the Quaid's Mausoleum trace its journey from colonial port to modern megacity.
