Khanewal an old sub division of Multan district was upgraded as
district w.e.f 1st July 1985 comprising 4 sub divisions
namely Khanewal, Kabirwala, Mian Channu and Jahanian. The present
city of Khanewal was not more than a village before the year 1911
but in the year 1919 it was given the status of an area committee
which was upgraded as municipal committee in the year 1933. In the
year 1904 a railway colony was setup here and Multan Faisalabad
railway line was started. Resultantly it became an important railway
junction which played an important role in development of this town.
The ethnographic composition of Khanewal district is determined by
the fact that it has attracted a large number of immigrants from
surrounding rural areas and from the far off towns on account of the
development which took place in response to the construction of
Khanewal Lodhran cords line and establishment of railway junction at
this place. Ethnologically, the population of Khanewal district is
derived from Semitic or from Indo-Aryan races. This infusion of
blood is due to successive encroachment on Multan and influence of
refugees after partition.
