The village is famous for its ancient building housing a disused government school. The village school was built by freedom fighter Piara Singh Langeri who was associated with the Ghadar Movement. There was a Gurdwara on the first floor. [3]

The major centre of the Ghadari activity, the building from where the Government Elementary School Jagpalpur used to be run, was the hub of the meetings of freedom fighters and was the place where plans were given final shape by freedom fighters. [3]
A report on the Ghadar movement by British Intelligence Officers, Ismongar and Slattery, titled "Ghadar Conspiracy", gives several references to the building. The Punjab government of 1919 had published the report. The building also finds mention in the book, "An Account of Ghadar" by Professor Ved Pathak. [3]
The Ghadar leaders, operating from the area, Banta Singh Sangwal, Arur Singh Sangwal, Buta Singh Akalgarh (Ludhiana), Jawand Singh of Nangal Kalan, Ishar Singh Dhudike (Ferozepore) and Ranga Singh alias Roda Singh, were all sent to the gallows while the elder brother of Jwand Singh, had turned an approver in the case that led to the hanging of the other six including his younger brother. [3]
Piara Singh of Langeri was captured by the British with the help of Chanda Singh, a zaildar in Nangal Kalan but the revolutionaries killed the zaildar leading them to the gallows. Hira Singh turned approver to hand the six into the hands of the British. [3]
There is a move to have the building preserved as a national monument.
