Takhteh Pol, Afghanistan
Place in Balkh Province, Afghanistan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Takhteh Pol (Dari: تختهپل), also known as Takhtapul, is a village in Balkh Province in northern Afghanistan.[1] It was created by Afzal Khan (son of Dost Mohammad Khan) as a cantonment after the Afghan conquest of the Balkh Wilayat in 1849-1850.[2] Balkh was in ruins, so with materials from the ruined town of Balkh,[2] he established the city of Takhtapul.[3][4] Gardens and courts were created as well. Within three years (by 1854) the city was established.[5]
