History
The origins of Mian Sahib are obscure, and historical records accurately detailing its founding are divided into several mythologies. According to some accounts, the city was founded by Saint Mian Taj Muhammad Mahar, who while on a preaching and spreading his mentors teaching expedition, was charmed by the surrounding area, and ordered the construction of the settlement and land cultivation of Mian Sahib, alternatively known "Mian Jo Goth", which was named in his honour. The name "Mian jo Goth", a contracted version of the Mian Taj's name, eventually gained favour, though the older name the "Pat" had been used up until at least the 1820s.
