History
The original name of this town was Patti Haibatpura, but a certain Haider Patti street in West Bengal became more famous than the actual town, and thus the name was changed.[1]
Patti was the residence of Mughal Governor of Punjab during Mughal period. Before independence, Patti was a Tehsil of Lahore district. The town houses the historic Mughal Fort and remains of the city wall. It also houses a number of other historical and religious places.
Before partition Patti was a tehsil of Lahore district. After bifurcation of Amritsar revenue district it becomes part of the newly created Tarn Taran district. Patti has been a power centre and by some estimates it has been so for as long as 1000 years. In the medieval days it was known as 9 lakhi Patti. That means it generated high revenue of 9 Lakhs. The town has stories of a certain haveli of its rulers Mirzas, which was destroyed to farming activity, as they migrated to Lahore (Pakistan) in 1947.[2]
The town is situated on a mound which adds to its altitude. To the south-east of the town is a smaller but higher mound which projects a Shiv Temple. Patti houses a fortress built in 1755 A.D. which housed the local police station up-till the year 2003.[3]
Patti finds rich references in the Sikh history especially when there were increased atrocities from declining mughals on Sikh Jatthedars (raiders) who looted the residents of the city. The fortress was used to prosecute rebellions. The tales of which became a part of everyday Sikh prayer.[1]
In the battle of misls, Patti was ultimately won by Faisailpuria (Singhpuria) Misl. It is said that Maharaja Ranjit Singh sent his army to siege the town when Mirza Talib Ali Baig rebelled against him for Sikh atrocities on Muslims, particularly banning of their call for prayer (Azan). During this siege, part of the outer wall was demolished.
Patti is also referenced as the city of peers : seven faqeer sisters.[4]
