Kallar Syedan's existence dates back 1200 years. The town had risen to prominence during the Sikh rule, evident today from the Havelis (townhouses), Gurdwaras (temples) and small fortresses which can be found around the Rawalpindi district. An example of a Hindu temple built during the Sikh rule is the Krishna Temple.[1]

The Bedi Mahal palace was built by Baba Khem Singh Bedi in the latter half of the 19th century.[2] According to records, Baba Khem Singh assisted the British Raj in suppressing a rebellion in Gugera, a town near Okara district, during the 1857 Indian mutiny. In recognition of his services, he was appointed a magistrate in 1877 and was later nominated to the Viceroy's Legislative Council in 1893. After the division of India and Pakistan the palace was transformed into a high school for boys named Kallar Sayyidan
Kallar was a wasteland jungle and all the wells in the area were (Dhara), a term used for "rough water". Even now the wells in tehsil Kallar Sayyidan are mostly Brine,[4] so that is how Kallar was derived from the term khara. Mir Muhammad Ali, known as Miran Shah, traveled from Bhakkar (Now Sakhar Sindh) to Pharwala Fort. Sultan Sarang Khan gave him this land as a gift and sent him with his family to Kallar. Therefore, Kallar Sayyidan comes after the name of the Sayyid tribe.
