Poonch has been witness to numerous significant historical periods. In approximately 326 BC, when Alexander the Great invaded the lower Jhelum belt to engage in battle with Porus, this region was referred to as Dravabhisar. In the 6th century AD, the renowned Chinese traveler Huien Tsang traversed through this area and noted it as a part of Kashmir. Around 850 AD, Poonch became an independent state under the rule of Raja Nar, who primarily engaged in horse trading. According to the Rajtrangani, Raja Trilochan Pal of Poonch fiercely resisted Mahmood Ghazanavi's invasion of this area in 1020 AD. In 1596, Mughal King Jahangir appointed Siraj-Ud-Din as the ruler of Poonch. Siraj-Ud-Din and his descendants, namely Raja Shahbaz Khan, Raja Abdul Razak, Raja Rustam Khan, and Raja Khan Bahadur Khan, governed this region until 1792 AD.
In 1819, Maharaja Ranjeet Singh captured this area, and it remained under the control of the Khalsa Darbar of Lahore until 1850.
In 1850, Raja Moti Singh, the son of Raja Dhayan Singh, who served as the Prime Minister of the Khalsa Darbar, established a separate principality known as Poonch state. This dogra dynasty ruled over Poonch state from 1850 to 1947, when the traumatic events of the country's partition affected this area. The raiders from Pakistan seized half of the Tehsil of Haveli (85 villages out of 173), a portion of Tehsil Mendhar (14 villages out of 99), and the entirety of Bagh Tehsil (113 villages) and Tehsil Sadhnuti (101 villages) of Poonch state.
The period from 1850 to 1947 is regarded as the Golden Period in the history of Poonch. The Principality of Poonch attained the status of a state from the British Raj in 1901 AD during the reign of Raja Baldev Singh.
Under the rule of Raja Moti Singh, Baldev Singh, Sukhdev Singh, Jagatdev Singh, and Raja Shiv Rattan Dev Singh, Poonch State witnessed comprehensive development.
The historic Poonch fort underwent a process of renovation and redesign. In addition, the construction of the Town Hall and Court building followed the model of Mubarak Mandi of Jammu. The establishment of the Fountain garden Poonch was based on the pattern of Shalimar Garden of Kashmir. Furthermore, the construction of Baghi Khanna, Bagh Deodi, the gateway of the city, and several other buildings took place. The aesthetic of the rulers was reflected in the construction of their palaces, namely Baldev Mahal, Moti Mahal, and Sheesh Mahal. Additionally, a number of temples, mosques, and Gurudwaras emerged during this period.
