The neighboring villages are Chabhal Khurd, Thathi, Sohal, Sarai Amanat Khan Nurdin, Lalu Ghumman, Mannan, Panjwar and 20 km west of Amritsar Sahib.

[citation needed] The place is known for being the birthplace of Maharaja Baghel Singh, Mai Bhago Ji, and Bhai Langah and many more.

The village was once an important place of the Mughal empire, contributing the third portion of the overall 9 Lac revenue collected by its main divisional pargana - Patti, Punjab.

[citation needed] Chaudhary Langah a Dhillon Jatt of Chabhal Kalan was a well known chieftain who had 84 villages under him in the Amritsar area during the late 16th Century.

He was one of the three Chaudharys of Majha of Patti Parganah during the rule of Akbar, a liberal and secular Mughal ruler from 1556-1605.

The family was a Hindu Jatt but Bhai Langaha's father took the name Abu Al Khair and converted to Islam.

In 1588, both brothers went to Amritsar, then known as Guru Ka Chak, Holy Sikh City and also helped in the construction of the Harmandir Sahib.

The House of the Jhabalia Sikh Brothers Langah, Pero Shah, still stands but is in ruins as it is about 500 years old, with old Nanakshahi Bricks.
