Note: National, provincial and district boundaries have changed considerably since 1908. Typically, old states, ‘divisions’ and districts have been broken into smaller units, and many tahsils upgraded to districts. Some units have since been renamed. Therefore, this article is being posted mainly for its historical value.

In 1748 it was conquered by Ala Singh, Raja of Patiala, who founded his new capital of Patiala in the neighbourhood. It has a considerable trade in agricultural produce, but is decaying owing to the vicinity of Patiala town. Sanaur has an Anglo-vernacular middle school and a police station.
