Bagh District<\/b>\u00a0(Urdu:\u00a0\u0636\u0644\u0639 \u0628\u0627\u063a<\/span><\/span>) is a district of\u00a0Pakistan-administered\u00a0Azad Kashmir\u00a0in the\u00a0disputed\u00a0Kashmir\u00a0region.<\/sup>\u00a0It is one of\u00a0the ten districts\u00a0of\u00a0Azad Jammu and Kashmir. Previously part of\u00a0Poonch District, Bagh was established as a separate district in 1988.<\/sup><\/h6>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Bagh District is bounded on the north by the\u00a0Muzaffarabad District, the\u00a0Hattian Bala District, and the\u00a0Baramulla District\u00a0of Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir, on the east by the\u00a0Haveli District, on the south by the Poonch District, and on the west by the\u00a0Rawalpindi District\u00a0of Pakistan’s\u00a0Punjab Province. The total area of the district is 770 square kilometers.<\/sup>\u00a0The Bagh District is linked to the\u00a0Muzaffarabad District\u00a0by two roads, one via\u00a0Sudhan Gali\u00a0(80\u00a0km) and the other via\u00a0Kohala\u00a0(97\u00a0km). The district headquarters is the city of Bagh, which is situated 46\u00a0km from\u00a0Rawalakot. It is said that a\u00a0bagh<\/i>\u00a0(garden) was set up by a landowner where the premises of the Forest Department are now located. As a result, the area that is now the district headquarters was named “Bagh”<\/h6>\n
