History
This village was established by migrants from the village who moved to this place from a village with the same name Jodha Nagri, now in District Amritsar, East Punjab (India) between 1880 and 1890. This was the time when Britishers established (Sandal Bar) an extensive canal irrigation system and allotted land to farming communities. The land was very fertile and even today is the main source of income of the inhabitants. The people who established this village were mainly from the Sikh community. They lived in this village for approximately sixty years. The whole village migrated back to East Punjab at the time of the partition of India in 1947. After that, the land was allotted to the people who had been displaced from the present East Punjab (India).[1]
