    Lahore has been around since the Mughal Empire and the oldest authentic document about Lahore was written anonymously in 982 and is called Hudud-i-Alam.

    A legend, based on Hindu oral traditions, states that Lahore was named after Lava, son of the Hindu god Rama, who supposedly founded the city. To this day, the Lahore Fort has a vacant temple dedicated to Lava (also pronounced Loh, hence "Loh-awar" or The Fort of Loh).

    Hope it helps!
