The term “Sargodha” has its origins in the words “sar” meaning “pond” and “godha” meaning “sadhu”. There are several theories about the origin of this name. . One theory is that it is derived from the Sanskrit “svargadhama” meaning “heavenly abode”. If it was so, then it would have given rise to “Sargdham” in Punjabi. The most believed theory is that there was a pond in a middle of town where a Hindu resident “GODHA” used to live. In Punjabi, “sar” is used for pond, so it is named as “Sargodha” which means “Pond of Godha”. This is also little contradictory because order of words does not reflect pujabi usage. i.e. Amritsar, “The pool of nector”.
The Sargodha city was founded by Lady Trooper in 1903. . Being the District Headquarters since 1940, Sargodha was upgraded to the status of Divisional Headquarters in the year 1960.
