It was a planned town, developed after canals were built for agricultural purposes and a railway line was established. Even today, the railway station at Sillanwali is known as "Sillanwali Mandi" in railway records. Before the [[Partition of India]] in 1947, Sillanwali was well known for the production of cotton. Most of the population were [[Hindu]] [[Khatris]]. After partition the Hindus migrated to [[India]] and their property was taken over by the Muslim [[Sheikhs]] (having [[Khatri]] Origin), most of whom had migrated from [[Karnal District]] of [[Haryana]] state which had been part of united [[Punjab (British India)|Punjab]] but became part of [[Punjab (India)|Indian Punjab]] after 1947. |
