Sialkot history

It is believed that the city was founded by Raja Sul who was the uncle of the Pandhavas (of Mahabharata fame). It is believed that the name of the city means "Fort of the Sia" (the word/root kot, meaning fort, being common in South Asian place names), the Sia being a particular caste which founded the city in ancient times.

It was taken from the Sikhs by the British in 1849. During the Mutiny of 1857 it was scene of heavy fighting, and the fort was used by Europeans for protection.

The city is famous in contemporary times for being the birthplace of Iqbal.
