It is situated approximately 2 km south-southwest of Ali Pur Chathha. About 97% of the town population is Muslim and 3% is Christian.
Said Nagar was the richest town of Gujranwala when Maha Singh was chief of the Sukerchakia Misl.[citation needed] The town's armaments industry flourished. Said Nagar was an important center for making swords and guns. Its inhabitants were very rich. Said Nagar had strong Muslim mansions and mosques. The Sikhs attacked Said Nagar and looted it. The people of Said Nagar left their hometown and settled in Gujranwala on the orders of Maha Singh. In Gujranwala they settled a separate mahalla which they named Said Nagri. During the looting of Said Nagar, the Sikhs seized a large number of arms and ammunition which further increased their strength.
