History
Residents of the village belonged to the Majhbi and Ramdasia communities, it was a part of the state of Kaithal. However, following their failure to assist the British during the 1857 insurgency, the village was annexed along with the rest of the territory. It later merged with Karnal District, a significant market in East Punjab, and was known for its suitability for the recruitment of military personnel, second only to Rohtak. One notable soldier recruited from Budhlada was Hawaldar Joginder Singh Datewas, who was awarded the Ashoka Chakra.
The British constructed a railway line connecting Budhlada to other regions of Punjab, leading to increased commerce and trade in the area. By 1901, the village had a population of roughly 3,500 people. During the 1930s and 1940s, it was renowned for its "boora khand" (superfine sugar), with a large factory near the railway station that dispatched consignments to Lahore and Karachi. However, this period of relative prosperity ended with the Partition of India in 1947, which cut off the town from these markets.
