Re: Stories behind the names of areas in Karachi
Neety Jetty is actually ‘Native’ Jetty
The modern Port of Karachi began to take shape in 1854, when the main navigation channel was dredged and a mole or causeway was constructed to link the main harbour with the rest of the city, over the Chinna Creek. This was followed by construction of Manora breakwater, Keamari Groyne, the Napier Mole Bridge and the** Native Jetty Bridge.** The construction of the wharves started in 1882, and by 1914 the East Wharf and the Napier Mole Boat Wharf were complete while 1927 and 1944, the West Wharf, the lighterage berths and the ship-repair berths were constructed between 1927 and 1944.
