Mazar-i-Sharif Province

Mazar-i-Sharif Province is a defunct province of Afghanistan, which in 1964 was divided into Balkh Province and Jowzjan Province. The former province's capital was Mazar-i-Sharif.[1] As of 1946, it had a population of 944,020.[1] In 1929, the province was governed by Khwajah Mir Alam, who had possibly been assigned the office in January 1929, during the events of the Afghan civil war of 1928-29, when Habibullāh Kalakāni took control of Kabul.[2]
