Kabulistan (Pashto/Persian: کابلستان) is a historical regional name referring to the territory that is centered around present-day Kabul Province of Afghanistan.[1][2] It included the land as far as Peshawar in modern-day Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.[3] South of Kabulistan was the region of Zabulistan and to the north was Tokharistan.
European book writers during the 18th to the 20th centuries sometimes referred to the Durrani Empire as the Kingdom of Caboul.[4]
The earliest rulers of Kabulistan were the Kabul Shahis, who ruled the region between 565 and 879 AD. Kabul Shahis had built a defensive wall around the city of Kabul to protect it against invaders, but despite that, they were conquered by the Saffarids of Zaranj.[5] The remaining of these walls are still visible over the mountains which are located inside the Kabul city.
