Sadhuara, steeped in history is a sanskrit language composite of sadhu and , meaning "the way of saints" This use to be a camping ground for the hindusadhus on the way to ganges pilgrimage. Alexander Cunningham, conducted his exploration here at Sadhaura in 1879. He described an old ruinous fort and excavated many coins from here. The discovery of ancient copper cast coins, Kuninda coins, Kushano-Sasanian Coinage, coins of Samanta Deva from Sadhaura point towards the antiquity of the place. Banda Singh Bahadur defeated local Mughal forces and built his Lohgarh Sahib Fort at nearby Lohgarh in 1709 after his conquest of the area in the wins of Battle of Chappar Chiri and Battle of Sadhaura. He killed the local Mughal chief of Sadaura, Usman Khan, to avenge the killing of Pir Budhan Shah. The historical book, "Twarikh Khasa" chronicles, "Nawab usman Khan of Sadhora was so cruel and fanatical that he used to have cows slaughtered and uneatable parts of cows he would have them thrown into the Hindus homes. He never allowed them to cremate their dead and forcibly matched Hindu brides to Musalmen. The Jazia was collected in most humiliating ways so that they might be more easily converted to Islam." In 1710 ADBattle of Samana, Banda Singh Bahadur also killed infamous Governor of SirhindWazir Khan who had ordered the merciless murder of Guru Gobind Singh's young sons, 6 years old Sahibzada Fateh Singh and 9 years old Sahibzada Zorawar Singh by bricking up alive within a wall in 1705 AD. Wazir Khan was beheaded by the Sikh army led by Banda Singh Bahadur outside the Sirhind city in the Battle of Chappar Chiri in May 1710. "Qatalgarhi"haveli here is the home of muslims who were massacre by him after they betrayed him in the war. Band bahadur demolished the fortress of Daura and hanged the Mughal faujdar and the town plundered. "Gurdwara Baba Banda Bahadur" inside the ruined fort later became ruined and a new "Gurdwara Baba Banda Bahadur" was constructed close to the fort wall, which is also known as "Quila Gurdwara" and "Gurdwara Qatalgarh". Pir Budhan Shah, who helped Guru Gobind Singh against mughals in the 1688 battle of Bhangani in which all four sons of Shah were killed, has a gurdwara here named after him. At present, 40-feet high mound survives narrating the past historic glory of Sadhaura and its fort.
