HistoryMiramshah was named after the Timurid ruler, Miran Shah, the son of Timur. In 1905, the British constructed Miramshah Fort to control North Waziristan. In the early 1950s, the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) and the "Tochi Scouts" of Pakistan's paramilitary Frontier Corps carried out counter-insurgency operations from Miramshah Airfield and Miramshah Fort against the insurgency fomented by the rebellious Mirzali Khan (Faqir of Ipi). In the 1950s, Miramshah was also the site of a weapons firing range of the PAF, which was located next to the Miramshah Airfield.[2] After 9/11, Miramshah gained prominence in the United States-led War on Terror and has witnessed numerous drone strikes by the US Central Intelligence Agency targeting alleged militants hiding in the town and in the surrounding foothills.[3] Miramshah and its surrounding areas have also witnessed fighting between militants and Pakistani military and paramilitary forces. Notable placesMiramshah has a historical fort built by the British in 1905, which, since Pakistan's independence on 14 August 1947, has been used as a garrison by the "Tochi Scouts" of Pakistan's Frontier Corps. The town also has a 7,000 ft. long airfield, which is used for both civil and military purposes. Other notable places include a bazaar, a sports stadium, a primary school, a secondary school and a college.
