History of Gurgaon
Purporting the antiquity of the name, Gurgaon city was first called Gurugram i.e. the village of the Guru. Derived from an incident in the Mahabharata, the city was given to Guru Dronacharya by his pupils, the mighty Pandavas.
Once under the reign of Akbar the Great, the district comprised of the sikars of Delhi, Rewari, Suhar Pahari and Tijara and came under the subas of Delhi and Agra. With the fall of the empire and fighting between the bordering chieftains, the area fell into chaos. The signing of the Treaty of Surji Arjungaon with the Maratha Sindhias in 1803, brought the area came under the British rule.
With the 1857 uprising came the next great change and the transfer of district from the North Western Provinces to Punjab which was again in 1861, rearranged into five tehsils of Gurgaon, F.P. Jhirka, Nuh, Palwal and Rewari.
The latest change in the composition of Gurgaon district occurred in 1979 when Faridabad was separated and tehsils of Ballabgarh and Palwal were fused with it.
The post liberalization era brought with it the next great modification. The influx of a number of multinational firms into the region which hastened development of the area into the hallmark of postmodern India, transformed Gurgaon into a world class city.
