Etymology
Kala means "black", and Bagh means "garden". This name came about because its founders, the nawabs of Kalabagh, planted a lot of mango trees, and their dark green leaves looked black to travellers from afar in the dusty haze. Hence kalabagh simply means "black garden".[2] This local town has geological importance for Pakistan.
