Giddarbaha in its earliest stage was known as 'Pepali', named after the old tree 'pipal'. Giddarbaha, means Pepali of that time, was a small village. It was very happy and small village with limited number of people. When Shri Guru Gobind Singh ji visited Pepali, they saw ladies of the village disturbed by the 'giddar' when they went to fetch water from the well. When Guru ji saw this, he inquired about the problem to which the villagers replied that everybody in this village is married except him (giddar). After knowing the problem, Guruji arranged the marriage of giddar. From there that village was renamed by the locals as 'Giddar vivaha'. It is Educationally very advanced two boys of this town are I.A.S. officers and many are super specialist Doctors & Engineers and many have settled in foriegn countrys and emigrated to bigger cities in the country itself.[1]

During that time, it took the shape of a town from the small village and when the Britishers reached here they wrongly pronounced the town name as Giddarbaha. They planned a new walled city in 1909 with six gates and carved the name on the gates as Giddarbaha. From there people accepted the name and started pronouncing the same.

Giddarbaha Railway Station was established on the line in 1918 which divided the old and new city. The railway station was established near the clock house gate and is very close to the bus stand.
