In the 12th century, Turbat and its surrounding areas, including Iranian Makkuran, were ruled by Prince Punnu (Mir Dosthein) and his family, including his father and uncle, Prince Aali Khan and Prince Khosag Khan. Subsequently, the Gichki tribes of Makran and the Buledi tribe governed the area about 400 years ago. Turbat served as the headquarters of the Makran State, where the Nawab resided in Shahi Tump near Turbat. After the dissolution of the Makran State, Turbat remained a Division Headquarters. The name "Turbat" translates to "place or land of lovers," and the city is home to various historical sites and associated legends. | In the 12th century, Turbat and its surrounding areas, including Iranian Makkuran, were ruled by Prince Punnu (Mir Dosthein) and his family, including his father and uncle, Prince Aali Khan and Prince Khosag Khan.
