Intorduce yourself and share your city photos and tell us about your beautiful city of Abbottabad.
Information:
Abbottabad (Urdu: ایبٹ آباد) is the principal city of the Abbottabad District in the Northwest Frontier Province of Pakistan. It is 4120 feet (1256 m) above sea level, is located 63 miles (101 km) from Rawalpindi, and 52 miles from Kohala Bridge.
The city is much like a valley and is also called "The City of the Maple Trees". The name was given to Abbottabad because prior to the early 1980s, large maple trees lined the main highway cutting through Abbottabad en route to Mansehra, a road from Murree. These trees were cut down to widen the Mansehra Road.

The District of Abbottabad is the headquarters of Hazara Division and the summer capital of the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) Government. Abbottabad is named after its founder, Maj. James Abbott, the first Deputy Commissioner of Hazara.
