History
It was initially ruled by Mughal Emperor Feroz Shah Tughlaq of the Tughlaq dynasty in the 13th century and later by – Babur, Humayun and Akbar (from 14th to 17th century). Slowly in addition to the Mughal Empire other rulers started gaining power in the area. By 1760, the area has three ruled divisions – The Sikhs, The Bhattis and the Mughals. The Bhattis were more prominent rulers as compared to the other two.
Maharaja Amar Singh of Patiala along with his minister Dewan Nanumal defeated the Sikhs in 1774 and took over the entire territory. But in 1781 he again lost the battle and the territory was again handed over to the Bhattis. Finally in the early 18th century the British confiscated the entire territory from the Mughals, Sikhs and the Bhattis and established their own rule.
The Delhi territory (of which Bhattu Kalan was a part) was divided into 3 districts in 1819. Thereafter a lot of integration and disintegration of cities and villages took place before and after independence. On 15 July,1997, Fatehabad was separated from Hisar and declared as a separate district having 254 villages of which Bhattu Kalan was one block.

Do get done in this way, but never the things
We set out to accomplish and wanted so desperately
To see come into being.”
