The Mirpur District is a de-jure district of the Jammu division of Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir in the disputed Kashmir region. The region is de facto administered as the Mirpur Division under Pakistani administration.
History
The area of the Mirpur District was a part of the former princely state of Jammu and Kashmir during the British Raj and after the partition of India. After the Indo-Pakistani War of 1947, it became under the administration of what is now Azad Kashmir. The Mirpur Division was the location of the Mirpur Massacre in November 1947.
