The origins of Busal trace back several centuries, with local accounts suggesting that the settlement was founded during the reign of the Mughal Emperor Akbar (1542–1605). The area later developed into an agricultural and political hub due to its fertile land and proximity to irrigation canals established during the British colonial period.
