The history of Rajpura records that Sher Shah Suri, founder of the Sur Empire, constructed a "Sarai" (inn) in the area between 1540 and 1545. The structure was built to accommodate his army during their travels through the region. The Sarai expanded rapidly from the 19th century and was briefly the largest Administrative Sub-division in Patiala district. This Sarai houses the officers of Sub-Divisional Magistrate.
