==History==
 
During the [[Mughal Empire|Mughal]] period, the Mirza clan of MuhammdiansMuslims were Mughal foujdars''faujdars'' of the 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 was a ''addana malik'' (tenantstenant) of the land. The village was deserted when Mughal authority was ended in the area in the 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 the [[ 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 the village as Chung as Chung is another name of the Waraich clan. Since then the village has never been deserted.<ref>{{cite book|title=Punjab District Gazetteers: Amritsar, 1976}}</ref>. The village was electrified in 1975.<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://books.google.com/?id=RkRaAAAAIAAJ&q=chung+village+patti&dq=chung+village+patti | title=Debates: Official report| year=1974}}</ref>
