Jagraon is a city, a municipal council, a rural police district and a sub-division of the Ludhiana district. Jagraon is more than three centuries old.

It could also be argued that Jagraon actually derives from a source with a suffix –graon being a development of the Sanskrit Grama, meaning Village as found in the Hindi word Gaon.
