Introduction
Under the
British rule, in 1980, Zhob was formed as Political agency. It derives its
name from the Zhob river, which flows near Zhob town. The Pushto
expression Zhob donates “oozing water’, a reference perhaps to the spring
which constitutes the source of Zhob river. The district as well as the
town, acquired the name Zhob in 1975. Previously it was known as Fort
Sandeman, in defence to Sir Robert Sandeman, the then, Agent to the
Governor General in Balochistan, who extended the British rule in the
region.
