Nurmahal was built on a place
where an ancient town, called Kot Kahlur, was located which was proven by the bricks and
many coins found beneath the
soil of this town. It is believed
that the ancient city was
abandoned or destroyed around
1300 for an unknown reason. Nurmahal is named after Noor Jahan, the wife of Mughal emperor Jahangir (1605-1627) as she was brought up here, and
is thought to have spent her
childhood here. The town then
came under the rule of Talwan
Rajputs and Ahluwalia Sikhs
before the East India Company gained control.
