My two cents:
According to a British historian, General Cunningham, Gujrat was founded by Raja Bachhan Pal in 460 BC, which makes it a very historic city. The modern city of Gujrat however, was established around 1900.
According to 1998 census, population of Gujrat was 252000 which made it the 18th largest city of Pakistan.
Gujrat is also known for its clay and thus the high quality pottery produced here. The city is also famous for its furniture industry as well as the high quality electric fans industry.
N5 has a bypass built around Gujrat. To go into the city one has to take N5 Business Loop. Here is the satellite image of Gujrat area.
Gujrat is also served by the newly constructed Sialkot International Airport. There is a new bridge on Chenab underconstruction these days. The bridge is called Shahbazpur bridge and it is located north east of Gujrat. Once complted, it will connect Sialkot airport to N5 at Gujrat. The drive time from N5 at Gujrat to the airport is estimated to be only 15 min.
