The college was founded in accordance with the will of Sardar Dyal Singh, in Lahore. Sardar Dyal Singh belonged to the Shergil or Gill clan of Sardars of Majitha village between Lahore and Amritsar, near Wahga Border. He is known as the “founder of The Tribune” and the one who bequeathed his largely self-earned assets including buildings in Lahore and land in Amritsar, Lahore and Gurdaspur districts worth about Rs.30 lakh in 1898 to two trusts that established Dyal Singh College and Dyal Singh Public Library in Lahore.

The college was run by an educational trust, consisted of Dayal Singh College, Dayal Singh Library, Dayal Singh Majithia Hall and Dayal Singh Mansions at The Mall Lahore, adjacent to Lahore High Court.
