== History ==
Haroonabad Town is a Tehsil Headquarter and an important Mandi Town of Bahawalnagar District. The history of the Town is not very old. It was laid out and established as a Mandi Town under the Satluj valley project during the colonization of the region in English rule in second decade of the 20th century. Before the colonization the site of the present Haroonabad Town was known as Toba Badru Wala. The word "Toba" in the local language means pond. It is said that there was a big natural pond to the north side of railway station at a small distance where rain water was collected. Availability of water in this deserted area had attracted the natives. The main occupation of natives was cattle farming and cultivation on small scale during the rainy season. The cast of local people who lived there was "Joiya Badru". This small settlement was named as "Toba Badru Wala" because of their caste.〔(Haroonabad(1989-2014) Office of the Deputy Director, Regional Physical Planning Bahawalpur )〕
In the year 1927, the branch railway line linking Forrtabbas Town with Bahawalnagar city was constructed. The Railway Station at Haroonabad Town was built in the same year and was called "Badru Wala Station". Grain Market, a few shops and dwelling units were developed along Chaman Bazar, Railway Bazar and Main Bazar in the beginning. Establishment of irrigation system/canal system under the Satluj valley project in 1934, added to the agricultural production of the hinterland and provided a significant economic base to this small settlement. The construction of 3R and 4R Canals in the region brought the most of the area under irrigation system and the town began to flourish as a Mandi Town rapidly due to increasing economic and commercial activities. The town was renamed as Haroonabad Town after the name of Prince Haroon-ur-Rashid, the son of Nawab of Bahawalpur Sir Sadiq Muhammad Khan Khamis.〔(Haroonabad(1989-2014) Office of the Deputy Director, Regional Physical Planning Bahawalpur )〕
At the time of partition of subcontinent in 1947, a large number of refugees settled here and the population of the Town was substantially increased. Development of some residential colonies, establishment of social services like educational and health institutions and provision of public utilities made living condition in town more attractive and resulted in rapid growth.〔(Haroonabad(1989-2014) Office of the Deputy Director, Regional Physical Planning Bahawalpur )〕
