Khawajgan was built as a small Mughal village. Probably for rest on long journeys. It was built approximately 500 Years ago and it is still not too large. Rhis shows it is something that has not changed over the years. However other important points of its history include that it could have once been inhabited by Turkish people and could have been made before that. The actual date could have been years before the date. Actual history cannot trace its origins and it is considered a ghost town. The ruins are called "Kandar" ( Pashto) which is derived from the Urdu word for ruins ( Khandar), it is called that because termites had one of their worst attacks and the city had to be abandoned. You can occasionally find old plates and signs of civilization. The date put into consideration is 300 years back. This is the history today. The descendants of the people can be traced to the " Khan" family. It was actually rebuilt. That too by the Swatis. Who first settled in Tajikistan. then migrated to Afghanistan( In those days Afghanistan was considered a promising place for settlers) and thus invaded Khawajgan and turned it into what it is today.
