Its old name is Depal Pur. The city is partially named after a saint, Lal Esan who, it is believed, recited 10 million times the Surah Muzammil (a chapter from the Quran) while standing inside the Indus River. In, Urdu 10 million is equal to 1 karor, which is why the city is called Karor Lal Esan. Lal Esan (original name: Sheikh Yousuf) was the grandfather of Bahauddin Zakariya Multani.
