Dagshai Cantonment was founded in 1847 by securing five villages free of cost from Maharaja of Patiala, There is no authenticated record available regarding the origin of its name. According to one legend the name was derived from the Urdu phrase “DAAG-E-SHAHI” which connotes the Royal brand/stamp. The prisoners were branded during the Moghul times and then sent to Dagshai villages. In 1849 a jail was constructed known as Central Jail.
