Gurgaon
district is situated in NCR of Delhi, the capital of India. It
is just 10 kms away from Indira Gandhi International Airport,
Delhi. The district derived its name from the name of Guru
Dronacharya; the village was given as gurudakshina to him by
his students; the Pandavas and hence it came to be known as
Guru-gram, which in course of time got distorted to Gurgaon.
Thus the district has been existence since the times of
Mahabharata. The district is surrounded by Delhi & Rajasthan.
It is said that Yudhishtar, the eldest brother among the
Pandavas, gave this village to his guru, Dronacharya, whose
tank still exists on the west side of the Railway Road. Actual
village "GURGAON" is about 1.5 km. away from Gurgaon town,
where the temple of SHEETLA MATA, attracts devotees in large
numbers on every Monday and Tuesday.
During Akbar's reign, the district fell within the subas of
Delhi and Agra, and comprised, wholly or partly, the sikars of
Delhi, Rewari, Suhar Pahari and Tijara. With the decay of the
Mughal empire, it remained in a disturbed state as a
consequence of fighting between the neighboring chiefs till
1803 AD when most of it came under the British rule through
the Treaty of Surji Arjungaon with Sindhia. The town was first
occupied by the cavalry unit posted to watch the army of Begum
Samru of Sirdhana, whose principal cantonment was in the
village Jharsa, 1.5 km. to the south-east of the town.
The civil offices were removed from Bharawas (tehsil Rewari)
in 1821 AD, when the British frontier advanced through the
acquisition of the Ajmer territory.
The district was divided into parganas by Britishes, various
parganas were given to petty chiefs and granted as jagirs in
lieu of military services rendered by them. These jagirs were
gradually resumed and came under the direct management of the
British; the last of the important changes took place in 1836
AD. There after, the district remained unchanged until the
1857 uprising. In 1858 AD It was transferred from the North
Western Provinces to Punjab. In 1861, the district was
rearranged into five tehsils Gurgaon, F.P.Jhirka, Nuh, Palwal
& Rewari.
In the composition of the District since the beginning of the
20th century various changes have occurred.
1901-1911: No change took place during this decade.
1911-1921: Ballabgarh was one of the three tehsils comprising
the then Delhi district. A part of this tehsil was transferred

Ballabhgarh.
1921-31: No changes occurred during this decade.
1931-41: Minor changes occurred between Gurgaon district and
Uttar Pradesh due to riverain action.

of the district including Shahjahanpur were transferred to
Rajasthan, whereas the district gained with merger of Pataudi
State and the transfer of it of 2 villages from Rajasthan and
78 villages from PEPSU.
