Firoza

Firoza is a small town in Liaquatpur, the tehsil of Rahim Yar Khan, Punjab, Pakistan. Its original name (with diacritics) is Firoza.

History

The town developed around the railway station. There are lots of stories famous about the name of the town. But the most popular among people is that it is named by the English after a woman who was the first resident of the area. It is said that she served them well and they named the place after her as a reward of her services. Other famous story is that it is named because of stone found there called Firoza. But this does not seems a decent one as now there is no sign of any such stone.
