Old History [link]

According to historians of South Asia, Layyah and its surrounding areas were inhabited by one of the oldest Human settlers (Civilization) after ice age (15000 BC prehistoric man). According to Yahya Amjed یحیٰی امجد (Book:History of Pakistan تاریخ پاکستان) and رشید اختر ندویRashhed Akhtar Nadwi (1913–1992),[3] the oldest tribes that settled in South Asia were Pattal پتل and Manda منڈا tribes. And these tribes settled around indus river just after ice age. Another tribe settled in and around Layyah is Mor مور tribe. This tribe finds its roots to Chandragupta Maurya - the Great King of India. Writers write that during the time of Chandragupta Maurya the town of Layyah was so established and well constructed that it housed connected homes at a stretch of 15 kilometers long.

Modern History [link]

The modern day town was founded around 1550 by Kamal Khan, a Mirani Baloch and a descendant of the founder of Dera Ghazi Khan. Around 1610, the town was taken from the Mirani rulers by the Jaskani Balochs, who held it until 1787. Abdun Nabi Sarai was appointed governor by Timur Shah Durrani, but three years later it was included in the governorship of Muhammad Khan Sadozai, who transferred his seat of government to Mankera.[4]

In 1794, Humayun Shah, the rival claimant to the throne of Kabul, was captured near Layyah and brought into the town, where his eyes were put out by order of Zaman Shah. Under the Sikh government, the town once more became the centre of administration for the neighbouring area, and after the British occupation in 1849, was for a time the headquarters of the District. In 1861 however, the District was broken up, and Layyah became a part of Dera Ismail Khan. In 1901 it was transferred to the new District of Mianwali.

In 1875, Layyah became a municipality, with income acquired through octroi, cross-municipality customs barriers. This income in the ten years up to 1902-3 averaged Rs. 9,900 with an expenditure of Rs. 10,100. By 1903-4 income was Rs. 10,000, and expenditure Rs. 10,600. The chief industry of Layyah at that time was the manufacture of blankets. The town contained a dispensary and a municipal Anglo-vernacular[clarification needed] middle school.[4] At the 1901 census, Layyah's population was 7,546[citation needed].
