Burewala (Punjabi: بورے والہ), is a city of Vehari District in Punjab, Pakistan. The city of Burewala is the headquarters of Burewala Tehsil, an administrative subdivision of the district.[2] It is the 27th largest city of Pakistan by population.
History
Burewala is situated on the Delhi–Multan Road. The Sutlej River crosses Burewala near the towns of Kachi Pakki, Jamlera, and Sahuka. The Shrine of Haji Sher Dewan Chawli Mashaikh is located in Dewan Sahib, approximately 18 km from Burewala. Before its settlement, the area was covered with jungle and was later inhabited by the Dhuddi tribe of Rajputs.[3] With the operation of the Pakpattan Canal, agriculture began to flourish, leading to the establishment of villages and the clearing of jungles for cultivation. As this area was part of the 'Eastern Canal Division', it was designated as village no. 118/EB (EB = Eastern Barr). In the northern part of Burewala Tehsil, remnants of an old water canal still exist, now known as Sukh Bias.[3]

Etymology
The exact origin of Burewala's name is unknown; however, there are different theories. One theory is that the city is named after a person named "Burha." He was, according to some people, 'Sikh'. The village is also called "Old Bura" or "Purana Boora." The people of this village constructed a well with a diameter of 8 feet and named it after their ancestor so it was called "Chah Boorhay wala" (Well of Burha). This well is now included in the P.I. Link canal. Due to this well the new city was named Burewala. In July 1976, Burewala was upgraded as a subdivision. The areas of Gaggo Mandi, Shaikh Fazal, Sahuka and Jamlera, Chak No.327/E.B were included in the subdivision.[2]
