Singhpuria Misl was founded by the great Sikh warrior Chaudhary Nawab Kapur Singh, a Virk Jat. Who was born in 1697 AD. He was the founder of Sighpuria Misl but later he became an esteemed Khalsa leader.[1] This misl got its name from a village Faizullapur in Amritsar and then changed the name of the village to Singhpura, and the misl eventually followed suit and became Singhpuria. Following are its heads:
- Nawab Kapur Singh[2]
- Khushal Singh
- Budh Singh
