Gujar Khan's history can be traced back to ancient times. It was historically a part of the region that saw the rise and fall of various empires and civilizations. The city's name is believed to have originated from the Gujar tribe, which inhabited the area.
During the Mughal era, the region including Gujar Khan was under their rule, and it served as an important administrative center. The area also witnessed the influence of various dynasties, including the Ghaznavids and the Gakhars.
In the 19th century, the Sikh Empire under Maharaja Ranjit Singh took control of the region. After the British annexation of Punjab in the mid-1800s, Gujar Khan became part of the British Indian administration. The city played a role during the Indian Rebellion of 1857, with local leaders participating in the resistance.
With the partition of India in 1947, Gujar Khan became part of Pakistan. Today, it is a growing city with a mix of historical and modern elements, contributing to the cultural and economic landscape of the Rawalpindi District.
