Excavations in the area revealed that Kula Chor was the mint of the Maurya Dynasty[3]. It is pertinent to mention that a new wave of people appeared in India in 12th century known as Kuchour tribe. It can be assumed that the place was populated by the Kula Chours, instead of Chandragupta.

The original name of the village could not be ascertained but the fort became famous as Islam Garh Fort with the passage of time. Only some deteriorated remains of the fort exists today. Later, the fort had been the mint of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, of Lahore, in 1832 CLIMATE::::::: The city has moderate climate.

    Could you tell me where the old Kapur da Mohalla was located in Jalalpur Jattan? That is the origin place of my father's family, descendents of Sunder Das Kapur. I would like to visit it one day when the world is a peaceful place.
