It is about west of Painsra, midway between the major cities of Jhang to the west, and Faisalabad, 400NaN0 to the east. The capital city of Punjab, Lahore, is 2120NaN0 by road to the east.
During the 20th century, the town developed as a stopping point along the Lyallpur-Jhang trade route.[3]
As of 2015, its population was approximately 19,500 people, making it the largest town in Gojra Tehsil.
The town serves as an educational and trading center. It has a Union Council (one of two in Gojra Tehsil) overseen by Chairman Mian Shamshad-ul-Haq, as well as 4 wards.
It was declared a sub-tehsil of Gojra (the tehsil of Toba Tek Singh) by the government. The offices of the Assistant Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner are due to be constructed there, on government-owned land about 3 to 5 kilometers from the main area of the sub-tehsil.
Nawan Lahore hosts public and private schools and colleges.
