Sandal Bar is named after Sandal, grandfather of the 16th-century Punjabi chieftain Dulla Bhatti who, according to the popular folklores, led a revolt against the Mughal rule in the Sandal Bar during the reign of Akbar. Until the late-19th century it was sparsely populated, when it was brought under irrigation after the establishment of Chenab Colony ( Lyallpur) in 1892.
