Reasons for the Nickname:
- Textile Hub: Faisalabad is a major center for textile manufacturing in Pakistan, with a large number of spinning mills, weaving factories, and garment units.
- Cotton Production: The region surrounding Faisalabad is known for its high-quality cotton production, which provides the raw material for the textile industry.
- History of Textile: The city's textile industry has a long history, dating back to the British colonial era when it was a key center for cotton processing and weaving.
- Economic Importance: The textile industry contributes significantly to Faisalabad's economy, providing employment and generating revenue.
Beyond Textile:
While the textile industry is a major factor, Faisalabad's nickname also reflects its overall industrial development and its position as a major economic center in Pakistan.
