▲==History==
▲During the Mughal period, Mirza clan of Muhammdians were Mughal foujdars of Patti area. Chung was founded by a landlord Mirza Shujayat Allah Beg who partially inherited it from his in-laws and partially purchased it. Initially its name was Fatehpur Aman Allah. At that time, Waraich Jatt were addana malik (tenants) of the land. The village was deserted when Mughal authority was ended in the area in mid 18th century. The village remained under the [[Bhangi Misl]] until the end of eighteen century. During this time, [[Sardar Chuhar Singh]] and Rai Singh Bhangi of the village took part in [[ Battle of Sirhind (1764) ]] against Mughal Governor [[Zain Khan Sirhindi]]. During the reign of Maharaja [[Nau Nihal Singh ]] (1839-40), some more Waraich Jatt migrated here from different villages. They changed the name of village as Chung as Chung is other name to Waraich clan. Since then the village has never been deserted. <ref>{{cite book|title=Punjab District Gazetteers: Amritsar, 1976}}</ref>.
