A great man, named Bhala Khan arrived here 500 years ago. He was king of Potohar Gul Muhammad of Galyana (Gujar Khan) and he gifted this land. After the arrival of the British Army, this name was written wrongly and was turned into Bhala khar (Bhalaghar.) The original history of Bhalakhar can be read in municipal library located in Lahore.
