History
The history of the region dates to 326 BC, when Alexandar the Great and his troops camped in the area of Jalalpur Sharif prior to their battle with Porus. During the reign of Ranjit Singh, Pind Dadan Khan was the second most important town after Amritsar and the largest grain market in Western Punjab. Prior to Jhelum, Pind Dadan Khan was the District headquarter, however, gradually this magnificent town lost its past glory due to continued neglect and other natural calamities which hit the region form time to time.
After the First Anglo-Sikh War - the East India Company effectively took over the Sikh Empire, in April 1848 British boundary commissioner James Abbott, who was involved demarcating the Punjab-Kashmir border, made arrangements to travel down to Pind Dadun Khan, "to inspect the salt and antimony mines, with a view to acquire a knowledge of the phenomena under which minerals occur in this formation".
