Hub (Urdu: حب) is a city and capital of the Hub District[3] in Pakistan's Balochistan province. It is the 49th largest city of Pakistan by population, according to the 2017 census, and is also Balochistan's fourth-largest city. Hub is an industrial city and its original name was Hub Chowki because once there was a police and customs check post (which is known as chowki in Urdu), named Nakahi. After the development of factories and many other industries, the town was renamed as Hub. It is one of the largest industrial centres of Balochistan, and, because of its proximity to Karachi, is becoming a commuter town of the Karachi metropolitan area.
