along Grand Trunk Road in Dakhini near Jalandhar, from Sher Shah Suri periodThe history of Jalandhar District comprises three periods — ancient, medieval and modern.

that the name derives from the vernacular term ''Jalandhar'', meaning area inside the water, i.e., tract lying between the two rivers Satluj and Beas. The whole of Punjab and the area of present Jalandhar District was part of the Indus Valley Civilization. Harappa and Mohenjo-daro are the sites where remains of the Indus Valley Civilization have been found extensively. The archaeological explorations made during recent years have pushed the ancient times of Jalandhar District of Harappa period. Jalandhar was ruled by King Arjan Singh.

Jalandhar was conquered by the Ghaznavids during the reign of Ibrahim of Ghazni between 1058-89. It later formed part of the province of Lahore during the Delhi Sultanate and Mughal Empire. The 18th century saw upheaval in Jalandhar amidst an anarchy caused by the disintegration of the Mughals and power struggles involving Nader Shah's invasion of the Mughal Empire, Durrani Empire and Sikhs.

In 1849, following the annexation of the Punjab by the East India Company, the city of Jalandhar, now spelt ''Jullundur'', became the headquarters of the Division and Jalandhar district of the same name. In the mid 19th century, British officials regarded Jalandhar as densely populated and farmed to capacity. This led to the district being a chief recruitment area for settlers to colonise the newly irrigated Punjab Canal Colonies in western Punjab.
