Jhelum Cantonment is one of the important Cantonment (Army Base) of Pakistan which was built in
1849 and in recent years it has grown up into a strong Garrison. Jhelum was chosen as the site of a cantonment and as the
headquarters of the civil administration. For some years it was the seat of the Commissioner of the Division, but in 1859 his
headquarters were transferred to Rawalpindi. Jhelum has steadily advanced in prosperity; and it is entrepĂ´t
for most of the trade of the District.
