The city of Ferozepur was founded during the times of Mughal Emperor Ferozeshah Tughlak ( 1351-1387), who had built two historic buildings, Tomb of Muslim Saint popularly known as Noor Shah Wali and a fort which still exists. There is another story that Moran, a celebrated courtsan in the court of Maharaja Ranjit Singh at Lahore had requested him for the grant of Ferozepur and the Maharaja accepted her request and handed over Ferozepur to her. Later city of Ferozepur was being ruled by Rani Lachhman Kaur wife of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, who died in December 1835. She had adopted Bishan Singh her heir, but her claim to inherit was rejected by the British ruler and Ferozepur lapsed to the British Government as one of the protected states. Thus Ferozepur was converted into Military Cantonment during1838 and its population at that time was only 2732.
Veteran Arya Samajist Saint Swami Daya Nand during 1857, had set up Arya Orphanage here and Railway line Ferozepur to Lahore over river Satluj was opened during 1886.
Ferozepur is known for the historic Samadhi of three great national martyrs Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev, situated on the bank of River Satluj at Hussaniwala. The British Government had executed the three great young patriots and cremated them on March 23,1931 which is worshiped by the Nation by holding National Shaheedi Conference every year.
