Bhadaur was an independent princely state till 1857, then it was brought under subordination of Patiala by British Govt by a favour not by right.

Descendants of Chaudhary Phool settled here after conquering the area from muslim invaders, leaving the village of Mehraj, Phul and Dhipali.

Bhadaur was the only princely town where the royal family held eight residential forts individually.

Tales about the Bhadaurian ruler Chuhr Singh appear in Richard Carnac Temple's The legends of the Punjab.

There are brass pipelines connected to the temple from all the Phūlkian forts to offer pure ghee for jyot (holy fire).

Punjab Assembly Elections, Pirmal Singh Dhaula, an Aam Aadmi Party candidate, grabbed the seat.
