Introduction

Why is it called Walton?

Infact, the area commonly known as Walton today is named after Sir Col. Cusach Walton, who was an agent of North West railways in the undivided India. A Walton training school of North West Railways was established in his name on 8th march 1930, the same was inaugurated by the then Governor of the Punjab, H.E. Sir Geoffery Fitz Harvey de Montmorency. Thus, the name survived the test of time, and it is widely known as Walton. Later, the foundation of Walton Railway Station was also laid beside this training school.
