The town was named after Katoch, a Chandravanshi Rajput king of the princely estate of Kangra-Lambagraon, His Highness Maharaja Shri Jai Singh Katoch who established Jaisinghpur in 1813 "History of Jaisinghpur".

Jaisinghpur has been known as the first place in Kangra, or perhaps the entire province, for staging the Ramlila festival. Ramlila of Jaisinghpur started around 90 years ago and almost all the actors that participated were Brahmin, mainly from the Awasthi community. The uniqueness of the Ramlila was the Sanskrit language used at that time, most Ramlilas in North India are based on the 16th century Avadhi version of Ramayana, Ramcharitmanas, written by Gosvami Tulsidas entirely in verse, thus used as dialogues in most traditional versions.

Jaisinghpur is also famous for its annual fair known as Holian which is celebrated in March during Holi, the festival of colours. The Holian of Jaisinghpur is famous for its delicious Aalu Chholey and Jalebi. Holian continues for almost a week. The holding of kushti (wrestling) at Dargah during Holi is an annual affair spectated by multiple visitors.
