Dera Ghazi Khan (Urdu: ڈيره غازي خان‎), abbreviated as D. G. Khan or locally as دیرہ غازی خان in nastaʿlīq script, is a geographically central city of Pakistan at the junction of all four provinces of Pakistan. The city is the headquarters of Dera Ghazi Khan Division, which consists of the Dera Ghazi Khan, Rajanpur, Muzaffargarh and Layyah districts.

Etymology

The word "Dera" is derived from the Balochi word ḍerā which means "encampment". This word is commonly used for residential towns in the Indus valley such as Dera Bugti, Dera Murad Jamali, Dera Allah Yar, Dera Ismail Khan. Dera Ghazi Khan thus means the residential town of Sardar Ghazi Khan Baloch. People of Dera Ismail Khan as well as Dera Ghazi Khan are also known as Derawal or sometimes as Dervi while the latter is used as Pen name or Takhallus. Historically the Derajat were established at the time when in the fifteenth century, Baloch tribal immigration took place from Makran, Qalat and Sibi Balochistan, to Indus Valley. Sultan Husain, the Langah Dynasty's Sultans of Multan, being unable to hold his trans-Indus possessions; called the Baloch tribal warriors, for help and assigned these territories to Sardar Malik Sohrab Khan Dodai Baloch as "Jagir". Sohrab's sons, Ghazi Khan, Ismail Khan and Fateh Khan, founded the three Deras or villages' named after them.
