Rojhan Mazari is situated in District
Rajanpur of

Mazari Baloch tribe who have held this territory since
1632 A.D. Prior to this the
Mazari Tribe were settled in the Bambhore Hills of present day

Balochistan. The City of Rojhan Mazari is spread over an area of four square kilometers and is connected by road and railway to
Kashmore in the South West and
Rajanpur in the North West. The original city of Rojhan, situated a few kilometers from the present city, was burnt by the
Sikh invaders under the command of Raja
Kharak Singh in retaliation of a predatory plundering raid by
Mazari chief Behram Khanin 1836 on
Mithankot ruled by Sikhs at the time. The present City was constructed during the reign of the famous Mazari Chief, Nawab Sir Imam Buksh Khan Mazari,K.B.E, K.C.I.E. during the early and middle part of the 1800s. The word 'Rojhan' traces its roots back to the ancient Babalonyian and Caspatic languages of the
Indo-European language family, meaning the 'City of Tents'. The City is a site to many ancient yet beautiful tombs of the Mazari Nawabs and Sardars dating as back as the 17th Century.
