Before it became the capital of Pakistan and was named Islamabad in the 1960s, the city was known as Rawalpindi, which is still a nearby city. The region was historically referred to as "Islamabad" during its early development phases, but it was not officially named until it was designated as the capital. The name "Islamabad" translates to "City of Islam," reflecting its purpose as a center for the country's political and administrative functions.
