All-pakistan-cities-list

A comprehensive, up-to-date list of 279 cities and towns across Pakistan, organized by province and region — including Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (with former FATA merged districts), Balochistan, Azad Jammu & Kashmir, Gilgit-Baltistan, and the Islamabad Capital Territory.

📦 View on npm · 🐙 View on GitHub

Ships as structured JSON data plus a lightweight helper API, along with a ready-to-use HTML <select> dropdown for forms — ideal for e-commerce checkouts, delivery/CRM apps, registration forms, and location pickers targeting a Pakistani audience.

Why this package

• ✅ Complete — all provinces and territories, including regions often missing from other lists (AJK, Gilgit-Baltistan, former FATA)
• ✅ Corrected — fixed common spelling errors (e.g. Shikarpur, Fateh Jhang, Pishin) and de-duplicated ambiguous town names
• ✅ Disambiguated — similarly-named towns are labeled by district (e.g. Jalalpur Pirwala (Multan) vs Jalalpur Jattan (Gujrat))
• ✅ Framework-agnostic — plain JSON + a small helper API, works in Node, browsers, React, Vue, or any backend
• ✅ TypeScript-ready — includes type definitions
• ✅ Public domain — CC0 licensed, no attribution required
