Bhimber (Urdu: بھمبر) is a town and the headquarters of the eponymous district in Pakistan-administered Azad Kashmir.

The town and district are between the Jammu region of Indian-administered Kashmir and Pakistan proper, about 47 km (29 mi) by road southeast of Mirpur.

[2][3][4] Bhimbar was listed in the Ain-i Akbari (c. 1595) as a mahal under Lahore Subah, counted as part of the Jech Doab.

[6] Bhimber is also mentioned on page 19 of the famous Atlas Maior, published in 1665 by Joan Blue, a Dutch cartographer.

[7][8][9] In 1852, the brothers Jawahir and Moti Singh quarrelled, and the Punjab Board of Revenue awarded a settlement.

Its hot, subhumid climate and other geographical conditions closely resemble those of Gujrat, the adjoining district in Punjab.
