==History==
== Maps==
Following the [[2nd Sikh War]] the Punjab was annexed by the British in 1849 and became part of the [[Bengal Presidency]]. In 1901 Lord Curzon authorised the division of Punjab. The [[North West Frontier Province]] was created with five districts and five agencies. [[Delhi]] was separated to become the new capital. The remaining part of Punjab formed a separate province which was subsequently partitioned between [[India]] and [[Pakistan]] in 1947.
