     Kasur is one of the oldest cities of Pakistan. In ancient times, it was just a small settlement with katcha houses on the northern bank of the old river Beas. According to an estimate Kasur was a big village in 1 AD. In 553 AD this was occupied by Khaweshgan. In 1020 AD, Kasur was included in the territory of Lahore, which was the capital of the state under Raja Jaipal (Government of Pakistan, 1980).

     When Emperor Babar captured the whole of India in 1526 AD, he gave this city to the Afghans as a token of their service towards his victory. During the reign of Shah Jehan and Aurangzeb, Kasur was glorified and every rich man constructed his own palace in Kasur. In 1830 AD Maharaja Ranjeet Singh captured Kasur and it was under Sikh Rule by the year 1957 when the British took over control of India.

     At that time, Kasur was given the status of a sub-division and was included in Lahore Civil Division. The Raiwind-Ganda Singhwala Railway Line was laid in 1883 whereas the Kasur-Lodhran Railway Line was completed in 1910, thereby connecting the town with the rail network. During this period, Kasur served as an important commercial as well as industrial center of the area (Government of Pakistan, 1980)
 

  After independence in 1947, industrial and commercial activities were re-established and Kasur contributed more and more towards the national economy. In 1976, Kasur was given the status of district headquarters and subsequently a number of local offices were established. But due to uncontrolled and haphazard development of tanning industries, the city is under a state of environmental degradation and there is a severe threat to both people and natural resources in Kasur.
