The name "Karianwala" is derived from the Punjabi/Urdu word "Kari", which means a "chain". It was reported that in Karianwala, steel chains were produced, so it has been called "Karianwala" which means "a place where chains are produced".
Immigrants from Mandeer, a district in Karianwala, have migrated to and are working and living in Europe, mainly Denmark, Norway and France.

History
The precise origin of Karianwala has been a mystery for the local historians; however, there is evidence that a town settlement was built in the years AD 1206-1207, by a slave known as Saiy Satwan, at the direction of Qutbuddin Aibak, a king of northwest India, who was the first Sultan of Delhi and founder of the Ghulam dynasty (Mamluk Sultanate) of India. During the reign of Akbar, Masami Mahbu settled a base under the name "Akbarabad". Later, the descendants of Masami inhabited Karianwala, and they built other towns in the surrounding area.
A fort, known as Islamgarh Fort, had been constructed at Islamgarh, near to Karianwala. During 1828, Mahaja Ranjit Singh built a mint in the area.

Education
There are two specialised government colleges in the city.
The population of the city began to grow quickly at some point in the past century, increasing need for Elementary, Middle, and High Schools. As the government did not (and does not) have a lot of resources to keep up with the demand, some private schools were built along with state schools. Notable schools in the area are 'The Educators' ,'Jinnah Public School' and'Danish International Grammar School & Girls College'.
