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.
