Tibba Sultanpur is a town between Multan and Vehari, Pakistan. The original name of the town was Tibba Sunta Pur, the name of a Hindu. After Partition, Muslims started to change the names of towns and cities. The name of Tibba Sunta Pur was modified to Tibba Sultan Pur.
The village was named after a Sufi saint named Sultan Pur, who is believed to have lived in the area. (No related shrine was known there).
The village has several mosques and Islamic seminaries where local residents can receive religious education.
Like many other villages in Pakistan, agriculture is the main source of livelihood for the people of Tibba Sultan Pur. The village is known for its fertile land and produces a variety of crops, including wheat, rice, sugarcane, and vegetables.
In recent years, there has been some development in the village, with the construction of new schools and roads. However, like many rural areas in Pakistan, Tibba Sultan Pur still faces challenges such as poverty, lack of basic infrastructure, and limited access to healthcare and education.
