The village was called as '''Jittwal''' during the rule of Maharaja [[Ranjit Singh]]. It is said to have been established by two brothers named Bhai Karam Chand & Bhai Sahib Chand. They were of very pious and saintly in nature. God gave them spiritual healing power. People started visiting them and paying respect. Once a caravan of Maharaja [[Ranjit Singh]]'s relatives was passing when a lady fell ill. Since there was no Vaid/Hakim ({{lang-en|Doctor}}) available, the sick lady was brought to Bhai Karam Chand. Bhai Karam Chand offered a Pircle of Jittwal earth and the lady recovered with this miracle. People started honoring and worship with the passage of the next generations of these two godly brothers were looked after very nicely by the people. In the last-years of 21st century a beautiful [[Gurudwara]] Sahib has been constructed in their memory at place where their Samadh was existing. Because of this Gurudwara Sahib has been named as Gurudawara Dera Baba Simadhan, people now worship at here.
