Districts of Afghanistan

Afghanistan is divided into provinces, which are subdivided into districts. The following table shows 398 districts, which should be the complete list as of 2009.

To give you a glimpse behind the scenes (and to help explain any errors or hedging), I will mention that I started with about thirteen different lists of districts from several different time periods. I tried to align the matching districts in the different lists, despite the district splits and province changes from one list to another, and despite the wild variation in district names (see Other names of subdivisions). Next, I chose what seemed to be the most reliable and up-to-date list, and reconciled all the data from my sources to produce the table below. The results must be considered tentative. The whole process took, at a rough guess, about 60 hours.

Usually, I make sure that a district's HASC code changes whenever there's a substantial change in its territory. Because of the uncertainties already alluded to, I can't guarantee that I followed that policy here.

Some of the aforementioned lists were provided by Mario Pezza. Richard C. Pollard sent me links to the AIMS site.

  • HASC: Hierarchical administrative subdivision codes. The middle two letters
    identify the province. For key, see the Provinces of Afghanistan page.
  • Code: Codes from Ministry of the Interior. First two digits represent province.
  • Population: 2002 estimates, Central Statistics Office (see note 1).
  • Capital: Where known, and where not the same as district name.
  • Former: District and province location before change (see note 2).

 

Note 1: The exact figures are from source [1], which was incomplete. The rounded figures in parentheses are from source [2]. The data in the two sources appear to be compatible for the most part.

Note 2: Source [5] tells how the 398 districts in the table above correspond to an earlier stage when there were 329 districts. In the "Former" column, I also include some information derived from other sources. I try to show the correspondence with the 365 districts shown under Change history, rather than the 329. If a district was partly or wholly formed from a different province from the one it's in now, I show that province's two-character HASC code. The information in this column should be considered unreliable because of divergences between different sources, but it can serve as a foundation for further inquiry. A missing entry in this column generally means that the name of the district was unchanged, although its territory may have been altered.

Change history:

The following list of districts shows the status as of 1990, but does not reflect the creation of Sar-e Pol province. Source: USAID spreadsheet, from Assistance Afghanistan page.

  • HASC: Hierarchical administrative
    subdivision codes.
  • Population: 1990 estimates
    (source [7]).
  1. 2004-03-28: Daykundi district became a separate province.
  2. 2004-04-13: Panjsher, Panjsher 1, and Panjsher 2 districts became Panjshir province.
  3. 2004-06: Kahmard district moved from Baghlan to Bamian province; Jaghatu district moved from Ghazni to Vardak; Gizab, Kajran, and Shahristan districts moved from Oruzgan to Daikondi; Nesh district moved from Oruzgan to Kandahar; Azra district moved from Paktia to Lowgar; and Shamal district moved from Paktia to Khowst. Many new districts created.
  4. ~2008-03: Gosfandi district created.

Other names of subdivisions:

Some of the names described as variants may actually belong to a different district, in cases where I matched two lists incorrectly. I arbitrarily decided that -e-, -i-, and wa ("and") should always be lowercase. Sometimes two-word names get collapsed to one, as when Ali Abad is written Aliabad. All names are transliterations from Pushtu or Dari, and considerable latitude has been taken by various interpreters. I suspect that Awal, Duwum, Charum, etc. are ordinal numbers, but I don't know for sure which is which.
