History

[edit]

The village is named after the Mughal Emperor Shahjahan, and was said to have been founded by Mohammed Abbas Khan, a Dilazak Pashtun. Abbas Khan was granted an estate by the Mughal Emperor, who named the village in his honour. A significant portion of the village's population still belongs to the Dilazak tribe. Other Muslim groups include the RaiBhaat, Qureshi and Ansari.[1]

Shahjahanpur fought in the freedom fighting moment of India under the leadership of Babuji Ilhamullah Khan, Firoz Mand Khan, Pandit Chandi Prasad and Maulana Mujtaba Khan Rahmani.

Shahjahanpur organised a mango festival in 1992, in collaboration with the Punjab Department of Horticulture.[2]
