Khudian Khas (55030) is a historical town with a history of over 500 years. It is believed that Raja Todar Mal, finance minister of the Mughal Empire during Akbar's reign, established this town, similar to the nearby town Chunian, though little historical evidence of this belief has been documented.[citation needed]

At that time, this place was located at the cross-section of dirt roads leading to Kasur, Depalpur, Ferozpur and Multan. Due to this central location, Pashtun and Mughal soldiers have made depositories - called "Khuddi" in their terminology - for stockpiling hay and pasture grass for their horses and animals. Nearby, a fort was built as a resting point for these soldiers. With the passage of time, this place became known as "Khudian".[citation needed]

Boundary
At the time of establishment of Pakistan in 1947, this town had a population of four thousand people.[citation needed]

The town had four gates which were closed at night for security reasons. These gates were called: Kasuri Gate, Kalay Khan Gate, Chunian Gate and Mahtama Wala Gate. Its existing boundaries are Kasur-Pakptan Road, Katora Branch Canal[4] and Canal Colony. This canal was built in the colonial times and starts at Head Balloki and ends at Head Sulemanki.[citation needed]

A mud castle was still existent in 1947 on the banks of Katora Branch Canal (also called Jora Canal[5]) but got demolished with the passage of time.Railway has been another major means of transportation for the town. Khudian Khas is located at Lahore-Pakpatan-Samma Satta (Bahawalpur) Railway Line. Train service on this railway line was started in 1904 during British Raj, but was closed in 1911. After a gap of three years, at the commencement of World War I, train service was restored which continues now.[citation needed]

Before partition, people were able to travel to all parts of British India by connecting through Kasur Junction. It is said that government at that time considered a plan to make Khudian also a junction and lay a railway track to Delhi through Mamdot town of Punjab. However, due to partition, this plan could not be implemented.[citation needed]

Khudian Railway Station[7] was big and well-designed – somewhat similar to the design to existing railway station of Pakpattan. However, in 1971 India-Pakistan War, this station was destroyed[8] and rebuilt in 1972.
