Burewala History
It is located on Delhi Multan Road. River Sutlej passes through Burewala adjacent to the towns Sahuka Jamlera, and Kachi Pakki. The tomb of Haji Sher Dewan is located in Dewan Sahib. Before being inhabited by the Rajput Dhuddi tribe this area was like a forest.
With the development of agriculture, people began settling in villages and reduced the jungle area to convert them into fields. This region was designated as village number. 118/EB because it was part of the “Eastern Canal Division.” Old canal remains can still be seen in the northern part of this Tehsil; it is now known as Sukh.
Etymology
Burewala’s name’s precise origin is not known, though there are several theories. According to one theory, the city has been named Burewala after a Sikh named ‘Burha.’ This village is also referred to as ‘Old Bura’ or ‘Purana Boora.’
The residents of this village built a well with an eight-feet diameter and gave it the name ‘Chah Boorhay wala’ in honor of their ancestors. The P.I. Link canal now includes this well. And then a new city was given the name Burewala due to the well. In 1976 the city was granted the status of sub-division. The subdivision includes Gaggo Mandi, Sahuka, Jamlera, Chak No. 118/E.
