This map shows the location of NWFP (green) in relation to FATA (blue) and their neighbours. Broadly, the blue and green areas were combined as Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in 2018.

The North-West Frontier Province (NWFP) existed from 1901 to 1955, and from 1970 to 2010. Until 1947, it was part of British India, and then of Pakistan. The province was disestablished in 1955 as part of an administrative reorganisation but then revived in 1970. In April 2010, it was reconstituted as the new province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

NWFP was adjacent (see map) to Pakistan's Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) and, in 2018, that region also became part of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
