La zona pertanyia als shalmanis tadjiks vassalls del sobirà del Principat de Swat, fins que s'hi van establir els yusufzai afganesos sota els quals va formar una extensa província que arribava fins a Kalpani; al segle xvi va esdevenir territori dels que encara hi viuen. La comarca té una superfície d'uns 785 km² i està dividida en dos parts: la shalgira o terres baixes, regades pel riu Swat, i les maira o altiplà, on arriba el canal del riu Swat; prop de la capçalera del canal hi ha el fort d'Abazai. Les vuit ciutats que la formen són Charsadda, Prang, Rajjar, Sherpao, Tangi, Turangzai, Umarzai i Utmanzai. (ca)
