Toba Tek Singh

About Toba Tek Singh District

Toba Tek Singh became a separate district on 1 July 1982 after separation from Faisalabad District. The district administration’s profile places it in central Punjab, with Jhang to the northwest and Faisalabad to the east. The district takes its name from its headquarters town.

The story behind the name

According to the official district profile, Tek Singh maintained a pond and provided drinking water to passing travellers. The pond became associated with his name, and the nearby market settlement developed under the same name. The profile also traces the area’s earlier administrative connections with Jhang and Lyallpur, now Faisalabad.
