Mithankot (a.k.a Mithancot, Mithankote, Kotmithan, Kotmithan Sharif), is located in southern Punjab, Pakistan, on the right (west) bank of the Indus river, only a short distance downstream from its junction with Panjnad River.
At the end of second Anglo-Sikh war (1848-1849), this area including Mithankot was surrendered by Sikhs to British forces; Mithankot became a part of the Dera Ghazi Khan district, the Multan division of the Punjab province of British India.
In 1862, Mithankot was innudated and washed away by floods from the Sindhu river; the offices of the assistant district commissioner and the assistant district magistrate were shifted to Rajanpur, which was until then an unimportant village but now became the headquarters of the tahsil.

 Alreja   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Alreja (also Alrenja, Alrenga, Aneja) is an ancient and Noble Hindu family, originally from Mithankot, Rajanpur, Umerkot, Chacharan and the neighboring towns and villages on the banks of Indus River in the southwest part of Punjab, Pakistan.
Their oral history includes an account of the estblishment of a military garrison by Alexander the Great at Mithankot, an important site for crossing Indus river since ancient times.
After the arrival of Islam to Sindh and adjacent Punjab, Mithankot and adjacent areas gradually became dominated by muslims; hence, members of Alreja and associated families continued to migrate individually or in small groups to other parts of Punjab and India, and many of them lost contact with their relatives in the original lands.
