Kasur, the city of Bulleh Shah, located 55 km southeast of Lahore, is one of the oldest cities in Pakistan. Kasur is adjacent to the Indo-Pak Border. It is a major tourist attraction because of the famous guard changing ceremony.

It is famous for its very spicy fish, a sweet dish called Andrass, and Kasuri methi. Apart from that, it is also the birthplace of Noor Jehan, the famous Pakistani singer and actress who gained popularity in the 1950's.

Within historical times, Kasur has been in the possession of a remarkable colony of Pathans, perhaps the most remarkable on this side of the Indus. There is little doubt, however, that the site was occupied by a Rajput town long before the period of the earliest Muslim invasions. There are various traditions about the origin of the name of Kasur.

Kasur remained a subdivision of the Lahore District until it became a district in its own right on 1 July1976.
