It was well known during British rule due to its organized bazaar and local markets which were under the control of the Hindu community. The village is named after the Balouch tribes who traditionally came here with their families and camels for summer grazing. They lived beside a bend in the River Jhelum which was a suitable, sheltered location. They spent six months in the area and then went back to their native areas for the winter season. Later [Sial Marth and other Gondal (clan)|Jatt Gondal] families came from the Sohawa and Jehlum side area near Mandi Bahauddin and started cultivating the land, building temporary houses. After some years the Balouch families stopped coming to the village but the name of the village remains Kot Baloch. Now there are no Balouch people left in the village.
