It is the second largest city of Azad Kashmir and the 74th largest city in Pakistan. A significant portion of the population from the district, the Mirpuri diaspora, migrated to the United Kingdom in the mid-to-late 1950s and in the early 1960s, mostly to West Yorkshire, East and West Midlands, Greater Manchester, Birmingham, Luton, Peterborough, Derby, Newcastle, Middlesbrough, Sheffield, East London and other parts of England. Mirpur is thus sometimes known as "Little England". Many British products are found, and many shops in the city accept the pound sterling.
