Tibba, previously known as Tiba, is an ancient village in Kapurthala District in the state of Punjab, India. It was once known for the rural sport of punjab, Kabaddi & Pehalwani. Great Pehalwans like S. Kapur Singh Vilkhu was born & brought up in this village. His family now lives in a nearby city Jalandhar with his son S. Balbir Singh & his grand sons Kulbir Singh and Navpreet Singh. This village is not much populated now as most of the people born in this village are going out of the region even out of India for better future only because of low resources and remote area. This village is though connected to Goindwal sahib from north side and many other villages & cities.
