Jatli (Urdu: جاتلى‎) is a town in Gujar Khan Tehsil, Punjab, Pakistan. Jatli is also chief town of Union Council Jatli which is an administrative subdivision of the Tehsil.[1]

History

The foundation of Jatli was laid by a person named Jatal. It was later awarded to Rai Dalla as a gift for his bravery. After then Raja Maher Muhammad took the possession of this land.[2]

Generation of Jatli

Jatli was initially discovered by Rajput Thathals who migrated here from Jhelum surroundings. These people belonged to Raja Thathu's family, younger son of Raja Soran Singh. They were expelled from their native place by Sikhs during Mughal regime. One of Raja Thathu's offspring namely Akbar Khan came to Jatli in 18th century and made his home at a central spot under a big pepal tree. Farzand Ali Khan and Brigadier Muzhfar Ali Ziad lived here.
