History
Formerly part of the Afghan Durrani Empire, Pishin was established by the British Empire as a military and civil station in 1883. It played a role in the three Anglo-Afghan Wars (1838-1919). Local tribes from the area assisted the Afghans in fighting the British by attacking British military convoys en route to Afghanistan. During World War II, the British built two airbases in the district; one near the town of Pishin and the other in Saranan.
