Tandlianwala Tehsil: History
The old name of the city was Tandla Mandi, meaning Tandla Market, during the colonization of west Punjab. Before the independence of Pakistan, the city was a food supply source for nearby villages. In 1987, it was given the status of "sub-tehsil". The town committee came into being during 1965. During 1966-1990, the town expanded rapidly because of the construction of a bridge over the Ravi River.
