Etymology
 Anjum Sultan Shahbaz recorded some stories of the name Jhelum in his book
Tareekh-e-Jhelum as
“Many writers have different opinions about the name of Jhelum. One
suggestion is that in ancient days Jhelum was known as Jalham. The word
Jhelum is reportedly derived from the words Jal(pure water) and Ham (snow).
The name thus refers to the waters of a river (flowing besides the city)
which have their origins in the snow-capped Himalayas.
However some writers believe that when "Dara-e-Azam" reached a certain place
on the river bank after winning many battles, he fixed his flag at that
place and called it "Ja-e-Alam" which means "Place of the Flag". With the
passage of time it became Jhelum from "Ja-e-Alam".
According to tradition, Hazrat Saeed Bin Abi Waqas, brother of Hazrat Saad
Bin Abi Waqas, was sent to China to preachIslam, during his journey he
arrived at the city of Jhelum, he saw the reflection of a city in the river
and said (this is Jheelum), which means "City besides the river, in full
moonlight " Ahmed Shah Abdali also used "Jheelum" in place of Jhelum and
“Harian” for Kharian in his diary.

History
Early History
 The history of the district dates back to the Hindu mythological period of
the Mahabharata. The epic represents the Salt Range as the refuge of the
five Pandava brethren during the period of their exile, and every salient
point in its scenery is connected with some legend of the national heroes.
Modern research has fixed the site of the conflict between Alexander and
Porus as within Jhelum district, though the exact spot at which the
Macedonian king effected the passage of the Jhelum (or Hydespes) has been
hotly disputed.
Afterthis event, we have little information with regard to the condition of
the district until the Muslim conquest brought back literature and history
to Upper India. The Janjuas and Jats, who now hold the Salt Range and its
northern plateau respectively, appear to have been the earliest inhabitants.
The Gakhars, who appear to represent an early wave of conquest from the
west, and who still inhabit a large tract in the east of the District; while
the Awans, who now cluster in the western plain, are apparently later
invaders, the Gakhars were the dominant race during the early Muslim era and
they long continued to retain their independence, both in Jhelum itself and
in the neighbouring District of Rawalpindi.
MughalEra
During the flourishing period of the Mughal dynasty, the Gakhar chieftains
were among the most prosperous and loyal vassals of the house of Babar. But
after the collapse of the Delhi empire, Jhelum fell, like its neighbours,
under the sway of the Sikhs.
 Sikh Era
In 1765 Gujar Singh defeated the last independent Gakhars Chief, Muqarrrab
Khan, and reduced the wild mountaineers of the Salt Range and the Murree
Hills to subjection. His son succeeded to his dominions until 1810, when it
fell to Ranjit Singh. Under the Lahore government the dominant classes of
Jhelum suffered much from fiscal actions; and the Janjua, Gakhars, and Awan
families gradually lost their landed estates, which passed into the hands of
their Jat dependants.
British Era
In 1849. Jhelum passed with the rest of the Sikh territories into the power
of the British. Ranjit Singh, however, had so thoroughly subjected the wild
mountain tribes who inhabited the District that little difficulty was
experienced in reducing it to working order. In 1857 the 14th Native
Infantry stationed at Jhelum town mutinied, and made a vigorous defence
against a force sent from Rawalpindi to disarm them, but decamped on the
night following the action, the main body. being subsequently arrested by
the Kashmir authorities, into whose territory they had escaped.
During British rule Jhelum was a district of Rawalpindi Division, and was
larger than the current district of Jhelum. On April 1, 1990, the tehsil of
Talagang was detached from the District and incorporated with the new
District of Attock.
The old Jhelum district (minus Talagang) covered an area of 2,813 square
miles (7285 km2) and included Chakwal tehsil - it was bounded by Shahpur and
Attock to the west, and by Rawalpindi to the north - the Jhelum River
separated it from Kashmir to the north-east and from Gujrat and Shahpur to
the south-east and south.

River Jhelum
The river Jhelum is navigable throughout the district, which forms the
south-eastern portion of a rugged Himalayan spur, extending between the
Indus and Jhelum to the borders of the Sind Sagar Doab. Its cenery is very
picturesque, although not of so wild a character as the mountain region of
Rawalpindi to the north, and is lighted up in places by smiling patches of
cultivated valley. The backbone of the district is formed by the Salt Range,
a treble line of parallel hills running in three long forks from east to
west throughout its whole breadth.
The range rises in bold precipices, broken by gorges, clothed with brushwood
and traversed by streams which are at first pure, but soon become
impregnated with the saline matter over which they pass. Between the line of
hills lies a picturesque table-land, in which the beautiful little lake of
Kallar Kahar nestles amongst the minor ridges. North of the Salt Range, the
country extends upwards in an elevated plateau, diversified by countless
ravines and fissures, until it loses itself in tangled masses of Rawalpindi
mountains. In this rugged tract cultivation is rare and difficult, the soil
being choked with saline matter. At the foot of the Salt Range,however, a
small strip of level soil lies along the banks of the Jhelum, and is thickly
dotted with prosperous villages.
The drainage of the district is determined by a low central watershed
running north and south at right angles to the Salt Range. The waters of the
western portion find their way into the Sohan, and finally into the Indus;
those of the opposite slope collect themselves into small torrents,and empty
themselves into the Jhelum.

Agriculture
Jhelum District has a total area of 8,58,767 acres, out of which 3,16,815
acres are cultivated. It has four tehsils viz; Jhelum, Pind Dadan Khan, Dina
and Sohawa. The area is located on the eastern part of Potohar upland along
with River Jhelum.
Agriculture in the District Jhelum depends mainly on rainfall. The average
rainfall of the area varies from 20 to 40 inches. About three fourth of this
precipitation is received in monsoon season and the remaining one fourth is
received during the rest of the year. The irrigated area at present is
limited but the emphasis on construction of small Dams and Mini Dams is
gradually increasing. Wheat remains the main crop.
In Tehsil P.D.Khan Salt is the predominant feature which is spoiling the
rich agricultural land day by day. There is a long strip of very rich and
virgin soil along the river which could be made a paradise of citrus
plantation by drip irrigation if the local people are motivated and the
Government of Punjab expressed some interest in it.

Flora and Fauna
Vegetation of the forests of Jhelum Forest Division is dry deciduous scrub
type, Phulai, Kau and sanatha are the main species. The stocking on the
whole is poorand the forests are open. Vegetation is poor on sandstone and
redmarl. The southern slopes are often devoid of vegetation while north
western slopes carry good forests. The forests of Jhelum Forests Divisions
are burdened with right of grazing browsing and firewood. Under settlement
out of total area 93,566 acres only 5,468 acres about (45%) are right free.
Remaining 55% are open to grazing.
The fauna of the District is mostly indigenous restricted, like the
vegetation, but similarly varied and interesting. The rugged and rough
terrain,low rainfall, the scantly cover of vegetation and the burning
passions of the increasing number of hunters, all have their share in
limiting the animal kingdom in the District. The riverine offers a better
environment than elsewhere though the hills support a more interesting
wildlife. Urial and Chinckara are spot aids while wild bores are found in
the Salt Range. Wolves, Foxes and Wild Cats are also found. Hare is fairly
common. Chikor grey and black Partridge are also found in the parts of the
district. Migratory ducks like Teal Pintail and Mallard and some geese visit
during winter.
