Bahawalpur, city, southeastern Punjab province, Pakistan. The nawabs of Bahawalpur originally came from Sindh; they formed a princely state and assumed independence in 1802.

The city, which lies just south of the Sutlej River, was founded in 1748 by Muḥammad Bahāwal Khān and was incorporated as a municipality in 1874. It is the site of the Adamwahan (Empress) Bridge, the only railway bridge over the Sutlej River in Pakistan, and has rail links with Peshawar and Karachi. Two palaces of the nawabs (the Nur Mahal and Gulzar Mahal) are located in Bahawalpur, as are a library, hospitals, a zoological garden, and a museum. Dring Stadium, a major Asian athletic facility, is supplemented by a nearby swimming pool. The city is the seat of Islamia University (1925) and the Quaid-e-Azam Medical College and is an important agricultural training and educational centre. Soapmaking and cotton ginning are important enterprises; cotton, silk, embroidery, carpets, and extraordinarily delicate pottery are produced. Factories producing cottonseed oil and cottonseed cake are also located in the city.

The region surrounding Bahawalpur to the west, called the Sindh, is a fertile alluvial tract in the Sutlej River valley that is irrigated by floodwaters, planted with groves of date palms, and thickly populated. The chief crops are wheat, gram, cotton, sugarcane, and dates. Sheep and cattle are raised for export of wool and hides. East of Bahawalpur is the Pat, or Bar, a tract of land considerably higher than the adjoining valley. It is chiefly desert irrigated by the Sutlej inundation canals and yields crops of wheat, cotton, and sugarcane. Farther east the Rohi, or Cholistan, is a barren desert tract, bounded on the north and west by the Hakra depression with mound ruins of old settlements along its high banks; it is still inhabited by nomads. The principal inhabitants of the region surrounding Bahawalpur are Jat and Baloch peoples. There are many historical sites in the area, including Uch, an ancient town southwest of Bahawalpur, dating from Indo-Scythian (Yuehzhi) settlement (c. 128 BCE to 450 CE). Pop. (1998) 408,395; (2017) 762,774.Punjab, province of eastern Pakistan. It is bordered by the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir to the northeast, the Indian states of Punjab and Rajasthan to the east, Sindh province to the south, Balochistān and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces to the west, and Islamabad federal capital area and Azad Kashmir to the north. The provincial capital, Lahore, is located in the east-central region, near the border with India. The name Punjab means “five waters,” or “five rivers,” and signifies the land drained by the Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas, and Sutlej rivers, which are tributaries of the Indus River. Punjab is Pakistan’s second largest province, after Balochistān, and the most densely populated. Area 79,284 square miles (205,345 square km). Pop. (2011 est.) 91,379,615.
