History of Karachi

The area of Karachi (Urdu: کراچی, Sindhi: ڪراچي) in Sindh, Pakistan contains a natural harbor and has been strategically used as fishing port by local fishermen belonging to Sindhi tribes since prehistorical times. Archaeological excavations have uncovered a period going back to the Indus Valley Civilisation, which shows the significance of the city's strategic location since the Bronze Age. The port city of Banbhore was established close to the area which now situates modern-day Karachi, where it served as an important trade hub in the region.
