History

Early history

In 1506 C.E. Chief Bahauddin, Sufi sahib, established a settlement namely Pindi Bahauddin, after his imigration from Pindi Shah Jahanian to this area.

British era

Mandi Bahauddin came under British rule in the nineteenth century, the city is near to Chillianwala the site of a famous battle of the second Sikh war between the British, commanded by Lord Guff, and the Khalsa Sikh Army.k

The population grew in the early 20th century near the ancient village [Chak No. 51], where Sikh, Hindu and Muslim businessmen and landowners came to settle. The town was named Mandi Bahauddin after the establishment of a grain market in the area (Mandi means market). During British rule in 1916 the Pindi Bahauddin Railway station was established. It was a time when the British were establishing and introducing modern and essential public use equipments in their best interest. The Railway System was introduced and laid down to defend their Empire from the North. So it was called North-Western Railway (NWR).

Chak Bandi was made by Sir Malcum Heley and approximately 51 Chaks were settled and notified. In these 51 Chaks , the land was awarded to the people who worked for British Empire. Chak 51 became the centre of this newly established town. The map of this Chak was made by John Alam. A famous grain market was set up in this Chak. After this the Chak No. 51 was called Mandi-Bahauddin. In 1920 this name was notified. In 1924 Pindi-Bahauddin Railway station was notified the above mentioned name. In 1937 when Mandi-Bahauddin was town, it was given the status of a town committee. In 1941 it was given the status of a Municipal Committee. In the Master plan of reconstructing this town, in 1923 all the streets and roads were laid straight and wide. In 1946 nine gates and the wall surrounding this town was completed due to roits[clarification needed].

The first muslim to be elected to the European Parliament is British born, Sajjad Haider Karim, who belongs to one such Chak, Chak No 16 also known as Chak Karrariwala. His family emigrated to the UK in the 1960s.

In 1960 this city was given the status of Sub-Division. In 1963, the Rasul Barrage and Rasul-Qadirabad link canal project under Indus Basin irrigation project started. The Project was managed by WAPDA, and a large colony for government employees and foreign contractors was constructed a few kilometers from Mandi Bahauddin. This project was completed in 1968 by Engineer Riazur Rahman Shariff as the Project Director. This project brought lime light to Mandi Bahauddin and helped the city grow commercially.[2]
