History

From the end of the 17th century up to 1837 Poonch was ruled by different Muslim Rajas of Loran. It then fell in to the hands of Raja Faiz Talab Khan of Rajori, and was considered a district of Lahore. In 1846, this area was handed over to Maharaja Ghulab Singh under the Treaty of Amritsar. Maharaja Ghulab Singh handed over Poonch and some other areas to his nephews, Jawahar Singh and Moti Singh. Poonch was annexed and converted into Jagir by Maharaja Hari Singh in 1935-36 by the deposing Raja of Poonch.
