Campbellpur, now called Attock, is a city located off the Grand Trunk (GT) Road in Punjab. It is the headquarters of Attock District. It is not to be confused with the town of Attock (or Attock Khurd) on the banks of the River Indus.

Although Wikipedia states it was founded in 1908 as Campbellpur City[1], it appears that the cantonment was established much earlier when barracks were built at Campbellpore c1857-1858.[2]
