Kabulistan (Persian: éçèÃÂóêçÃÂ) is a historical region centered on present-day Kabul Province of Afghanistan.
By the 10th century, Ibn Khordadbeh and the Hudud al-'Alam report the southern part of the Hindu Kush, i.e. the regions of Sistan, Rukhkhudh, Zabulistan and Kabul to make up the Khorasan marches.
During the 16h century, founder of the Mughal Empire, Babur states in his Baburnama, his memoirs: The people of HindustÃÂn call every country beyond their own KhorasÃÂn, in the same manner as the Arabs term all except Arabia, Ajem. On the road between HindustÃÂn and KhorasÃÂn, there are two great marts: the one KÃÂbul, the other KandahÃÂr. Caravans, from FerghÃÂna, Tà «rkestÃÂn, Samarkand, Balkh, BokhÃÂra, HissÃÂr, and BadakhshÃÂn, all resort to KÃÂbul; while those from KhorasÃÂn repair to KandahÃÂr. This country lies between HindustÃÂn and KhorasÃÂn.
In many Greek and Latin sources, particularly editions of Ptolemy's Geography, the name of the region is given as Cabolitae (). European writers in the 18th to the 20th centuries sometimes referred to Durrani Empire as the Kingdom of Caboul.
