The city is politically important in the district Nankana Sahib.Federal Interior Minister of Pakistan and Federal Minister for Narcotics Control Brigadier Ijaz Ahmed Shah Belong to More khunda.The city is located in two National Assembly regions and two provincial assembly regions as NA-118 and PP-134. The town got the name khunda from the instrument called khunda (a T shaped instrument used by local blacksmiths). The main courtyard of town is T shaped because of which it is called khunda. In the 1960s when the town started developing, it was just a bus stop and some tea corners and cigarette shops near the bus stop and also some commission shops. But slowly that small bus stop started developing due to being on the national hi way. Early that road was barren and desolate. But then the road was rebuilt and became national hi way and the bus stops and small villages got importance. Among all those small villages and bus stops more khunda developed the most because it is located on the two most busy roads of region, one lahore-jaranwala road and morr khunda-bhai pheru road. Moreover, another reason for the development of town is that it is located near to the provincial tourist spot of head balloki.
