Jagraon is a city and a municipal council, a rural police district and a sub-division of the Ludhiana district in the Indian state of Punjab. Jagraon is more than three centuries old. Jagraon is at almost the geographical center of the state, from the Satluj River. It is from its district headquarters Ludhiana, from Moga, from Nakodar and 54 miles from Barnala.
== Etymology == Jagraon's original name was Jagar aon, meaning "a place of great flooding", as the region historically experienced flooding. The suffix -graon is derived from the Sanskrit word grama, meaning "village".
