This town was started by the living legend Mehda Khan. He orginally operated a tea shop across in Damas but soon realised that not many buses were stopping there. So he moved over to this place and started his tea shop business which flourished. Other shops started to spring up and it is now a mini-town with around 12-15 shops with an old rugged Mehda Khan still operating his tea shop. He is known for his extreme generosity and charitable spirit.
Update- sadly Mehdulla Khan (Mehda) passed away on 12 April 2013. May he rest in peace.
