Qadian is perhaps best known as the birthplace of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad and of the Ahmadiyya Muslim movement he founded.

Ahmadi Muslims are followers of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. ...

Qadian was established in 1530 CE and Mirza Hadi Baig was the first Qazi (city Magistrate) of this area. On his name the town was known as Qazi. Mirza Hadi Baig was a religious scholar dedicated to Islam. Therefore he named the new town 'Islam Pur Qazi'. With the passage of time, it changed to 'QaziMaji' (The word "Maji" means Bull referring to the animal still found in abundance in Qadian) and then later to just 'Qadi' and eventually came to be known as Qadian.

It was in 1834 CE during the rule of Maharaja Ranjit Singh that the estate consisting of Qadian and five adjoining villages were given to Mirza Ghulam Murtaza Ahmad, father of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (مرزا غلام احمد) (February 13, 1835; May 26, 1908), a religious figure from Qadian, India, was the founder of the Ahmadiyya religious movement in Islam. ...

At that time, Qadian had no significance in the area at all with population of a few hundred people and only a sandy track pitted with pot holes connected the town with Batala. People were totally ignorant and uneducated. There was total lack of urban amenities and facilities. Later with the modernisation of indian governace system, Qadian too saw some major changes in its development , in early 20 th century qadian was linked by rail with Batala ( ahmadiya community's archieve still has the video of the first run of that train). Now qadian is well connected by means of transport. It has got good medical, education and public utility facilities. Though the town has its own prblems like too many quacks( fake doctors) who emrged to fame in the early 90's . Similarly Qadian has the problem of sewerage.
