This city was settled down by Rai Bahadur Bhavanidas Sikka, because of this work British Government granted jagirs to him. After Partition his descendants settled in India.Now His fourth generations are settled in Mumbai. This city was named in honour of Lieutenant-Governor of the Punjab, Sir James Lyall, for his role in establishing the canal colonisation project.The surname Lyall was joined with the noun pur, meaning city’ in Sanskrit..On 1 September 1977, the Government of Pakistan changed the name of the city from.Lyallpur to Faisalabad (‘City of Faisal’) in honour of King Faisal of Saudi Arabia, who made several financial contributions to Pakistan.

Early Settlements:
The region encompassing modern day Faisalabad district was originally inhabited by a number of forest-dwelling tribes.It is believed these early settlements belonged to the ancient districts of Jhang and Sandalbar, and included the area between Shahdara to Shorekot and Sangla Hill to Toba Tek Singh.The shrine of Baba Noor Shah Wali was erected in the area in the 1600s.At the conclusion of the Second Anglo-Sikh War in 1849, the entire Punjab region became administered as Punjab province, firstly by the East India Company and after 1858 as part of the British Raj.
In the 1880s the Punjab government began an irrigation scheme to cultivate large tracts of western Punjab through the creation of canal colonies.The Chenab colony was the largest of these colonisation projects, and covered the entirety of present-day.Faisalabad district. Popham Young, the Colonisation Officer managing the project identified the site of the current city to establish headquarters for the colony.Young designed the settlement’s centre to replicate the design in the Union Jack with eight roads extending from a large clock tower at its epicentre a design geometrically symbolic of the Cross of Saint Andrew counterchanged with the Cross of Saint Patrick, and Saint George’s Cross over all.The eight roads developed into eight separate bazaars (markets) leading to different regions of the Punjab.In 1892, the newly constructed town with its growing agricultural surplus was added to the British rail network.Construction of the rail link between Wazirabad and Lyallpur was completed in 1895.In 1896, Gujranwala, Jhang and Sahiwal comprising the Tehsils of Lyallpur were under the administrative control of the Jhang District.The town became one of the first planned settlements within British India.In 1904, the new district of Lyallpur was created to include the tehsils of Samundri and Toba Tek Singh with a sub-tehsil at Jaranwala, which later became a full tehsil in itself.The University of Agriculture, originally the Punjab Agricultural College and Research Institute, Lyallpur, was established in 1906.The Town Committee was upgraded to a Municipal Committee in 1909. Lyallpur grew into an established agricultural tool and grain centre.By 1911 the city had a population of 19,578.The 1930s brought industrial growth and market expansion to the textile industry as well as to food processing, grain crushing and chemicals.

Independence:

In August 1947, following three decades of nationalist struggles, India and Pakistan achieved independence. The British agreed to partition British India into two sovereign states.Pakistan with a Muslim majority, and India with a Hindu majority; however, more Muslims remained in India than what governing authorities believed would assimilate into Pakistan.The partitioning led to a mass migration of an estimated 10 million people which made it the largest mass migration in human history.The Punjab province was divided into Punjab, West Pakistan and Punjab, India. There were also respective divisions of the British Indian Army, the Indian Civil Service, various administrative services, the central treasury, and the railways.Riots and local fighting followed the expeditious withdrawal of the British, resulting in an estimated one million civilians deaths, particularly in the western region of Punjab.Lyallpur, which was located in the region of the Punjab Province that became West Pakistan, was populated by a number of Hindus and Sikhs who migrated to India, while Muslim refugees from India settled in the district.In 1977, Pakistani authorities changed the name of the city to “Faisalabad” to honourthe close relationship of Faisal of Saudi Arabia with Pakistan.During the eighties, the city realised an increase in foreign investment.More Faisalabadis began workingabroad as bilateral ties improved within the new dominion. This led to more monetaryfunds returning to the city that aided the development of the region.In 1985, the city was upgraded as a division with the districts of Faisalabad, Jhang and Toba Tek Singh.

Causes Pollution in Faisalabad:
The main causes of pollution in Faisalabad include sources such as emissions from vehicles, with numerous cars, motorbikes and heavy-duty vehicles such as trucks, lorries and buses inhabiting the roads. Many of these run on lower quality fuels, or fossil fuels such as diesel, and often aren’t subject to the same stringent rules that other countries might have in place, leading to huge numbers of ancient and outdated vehicles still being in use, putting out vast amounts of smoke and fumes far beyond the level of what a newer vehicle running on cleaner fuel would do. Other sources are of course the many factories and textile mills around the city, along with brick kilns that number in the thousands, many of which also run on unclean fuel sources and are not subject to any universal regulations. Other industrial areas that further contribute to pollution levels are ones such as chemical plants, foundries and smelting plants, sugar mills and poultry feed production units. Other causes of pollution include the burning of wood and other materials in homes, dust from roadside areas as well as transborder smoke, which can be blown in from other areas and accumulate within the city, being unable to disperse and causing the heavily elevated numbers as seen on record.
