History
During the British Raj, Raiwind was a tehsil of Lahore District. The town also became notable when a junction was built by the North Western State Railway between the Karachi–Peshawar Railway Line and Lodhran–Raiwind Branch Line. Before the Ferozepore-Bhatinda Railway opened, it was an important centre for local trade in agricultural produce and had two cotton-ginning factories and a cotton-press, which employed around 200 people. Following independence in 1947, the railway links eastwards were no longer functional.
