==History== The town was established as a mandi (market) during the colonization of west Punjab. In 1987, it received the status of sub-tehsil when Manzoor Wattoo was elected as MPA from the constituency and later became the CM Punjab. The town committee came into being in 1965. From 1966 to 1990, the town expanded rapidly due to the construction of a bridge over the Ravi River. It is also a ghee supplier mandi and chamra (leather) mandi since 1979. There were also factories for processing raw hides. Before the independence of Pakistan, the city was a food supplier for Faisalabad District and nearby areas. The original name of the city is Tandla Mandi (Tandla Market). Lately, the tehsil has been linked directly to Sahiwal city by a newly formed bridge on river Ravi. Tandlianwala Tehsil came in contact with motorway (Lahore to Karachi) which is part of CPEC.
