== HISTROY:-
The founder of the Chiniot City was " RANNI JANAN "
Chiniot is at present the Sub-divisional Headquarters of Chiniot Tehsil of Jhang District in Faisalabad Division of the Punjab. According to the older and classical District Gazetteer of Jhang "the surface of the district presents three levels on the extreme west the high sand dunes of the Thal, in the centre the two low-lying river valleys and on the extreme east a portion of the Sandal Bar".
On the hill of the river bank is a temple said to have built by Maharaja Gulab Sing of Kashmir. The most conspicuous building in the town is the pillars constructed of sang-i-larzan are exceptionally beautiful. The origins of the town might go back to remote antiquity. But, unfortunately, no full-fledged archaeological excavations have ever been undertaken. It would, therefore, be fairly safe to assume that Chiniot may have been the cradle of some ancient civilisation under a Sanskrit name or at least formed part of it. The name Chiniot is a corruption of the name Chandan, a king's daughter who used to hunt in men's clothing while out hunting, she saw the site of Chiniot and was so impressed that she ordered a town to be built there. A reference in Rig-Veda to a place is constructed by some scholars as implying the town now known as Chiniot. Channiwat is said to have been mentioned in Ramayan and subsequently by Alberuni in his Kitab-ul-Hind.
Channiwat, popularly known as Ajhan, housed one of the three ancient Universities in the Punjab, the other two being at Ajodhan and Taxila. Professor Lakshami Narain is credited with the theory that the Ajhan University was situated among the rocks on the bank of the River Chenab near Chiniot.
Tribes The main tribes of Chiniot are: Kamangar (chaudhry family) Arian, aggasi bhatti,Bhutta, Chadhar, Chinioti Sheikhs, Haral, Jute, Khokhar, Lali, Mufti, Nekokara, Nissowana, Sayyid.kharl. Arian may refer to: Arian, being well endowed. ...

LOCATION The Punjab plain comprises mainly the province of Punjab. It is the gift of River Indus and its five eastern tributaries- Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Sutlej and Beas. The plain spreads from the south of Potohar plateau up to Mithankot, where Sulaiman Range approaches river Indus. The Punjab plain is almost a featureless plain with a gentle slope southward averaging one foot to the mile. The only break in the alluvial monotony is the little group of broken hills(100 ft-1,600ft.) near Sangla and Irana on either side of the Chenab. The entire plain is extensively irrigated by a network of canals. This system has been greatly expanded and improved in recent years by the construction of link-canals, dams and barrages as a result of the Indus Water Treaty with India, which awarded the three western rivers (Indus, Jhelum and Chenab) to Pakistan, and the three eastern rivers (Ravi,Sutlej and Beas) to India. Tarbela Dam on river Indus and Mangla Dam on River Jhelum, which have water storage capacities of 11.1 million acre ft. and 5.55 million acre ft. respectively, need a special mention. Irrigation water is supplemented by summer and winter rains(15-20 inches) so that a variety of crops is raised, the major one being wheat, rice, cotton and sugarcane. The region has earned the name of granary of Pakistan. However, the blessings of canal irrigation have not been without a curse, which render about 100,000 acres of land unproductive every year through water-logging and salinity. The menace has been greatly controlled through salinity control and reclamation projects. Agricultural development boosted urbanization and industrialization so that the region has emerged as the most important economically developed area of Pakistan, containing over 56 per cent of the population and most of the commercial and industrial centres of the country, such as Lahore (2,922,000),Faisalabad (1,092.000). Multan (730,000), Gujranwala (596,000), Sialkot (297,000) and Gujrat (154,000) and Chiniot Latitude 31 40 N Longitude 73 00 E Agriculture is thus almost entirely dependent on rainfall of 15-20 inches and on the small dams built in the catchments areas of the streams.
Fields of wheat, barley, jowar, bajra and pulses are found in valley bottoms and on the terraced slopes along river banks. A new economic factor has been introduced by the establishment of a few factories in Rawalpindi and Islamabad and a large industrial area in the Taxila-Wah-Hassanabdal triangle, where a large cement factory was already in existence. The region is particularly known for its oilfields in Khaur-Dhulian neighbourhood, the ancient civilization sites in Soan valley, the ruins and the Buddhist University at Taxila and the new capital, Islamabad, which stands north of the old city of Rawalpindi (806,000) at the southern slops of Murree hills, the popular Holiday resort of the country. Salt Range The ramparts of the Salt Range stretching from east to west in the south separate potohar upland from the Punjab plain. The average height of the Salt Range is about 700 meters, but near Sakesar in Sargodha district, it rises to 1,500 meters, making summer pleasant. The southern face is remarkably steep, dissected and intensely arid. But, the northern slope is gentle and has sparse vegetation of oleanders and wild olives.
The top of the range is a narrow belt of isolated plateaus and basins, where, sparse stunted trees and fields of wheat and maize are found. However, the real importance of the salt mines lies in the large deposits of pure salt at Khewra and Kalabagh and the large seams of coal at Dandot and Makerwal.
