In this village, there are two major Jat Gotras: Janghu and Sangwan. They are said to have first settled at this place. The Janghus' ancestors had migrated from Khorara village and are also known as Bhalothia and Khordia in local parlance. The Sangwans came here from neighboring Atela Kalan and they are called Atelias in the local dialect. On the basis of this, the land of the village both agricultural and residential had been demarked into two parts. the dividing line has been marked from East to West and divides the village in two 'pannas' or Mohallas i.e. Khordias in the southern part and Atelias in the northern part. Subsequently, a few people belonging to other gotras also settled here in both the pannas/mohallas.

The first primary school was opened here on the exhortations of Nihal Singh Takshak who, on behalf of Birla Education Trust, Pilani, formed a committee of the villagers comprising Shri Chand, Harnarain Suhag, Uddal Numberdar, Darya Singh etc. for this task. They took up the task with all seriousness, collected donations and got constructed the building. The school has been upgraded to Govt. Middle School recently.
