Brief About Saharanpur
District The
physical features of the district have proved that Saharanpur region
was fit for human habitation. The archaeological survey has proved
that the evidenceof different cultures isavailable in this area. The excavations
were carried out in different parts of the district, i.e Ambakheri,Bargaon,Hulas,Bhadarabad
and Naseerpur etc. A number of things have been found during these
excavations, on the basis of which, it is established that in Saharanpur
district, the earliest habitants were found as early as 2000B.C. Traces
of Indus Valley civilization and even earlier are available and now
it can be definitely established that this region is connected with
Indus valley civilization. Ambakheri, Bargaon, Naseerpur and Hulas
were the centres of Harappa culture because many things similar to
Harappan civilization were found in these areas .
From
the days of the Aryans, the history of this region is traceable
in a logical manner butit is difficult at present to trace out
history and administration of the local kings without further
exploration and excavations.The history of the area goes back
to ages. With the passage of timeit’s name changed rapidly. During
the region of Iltutmish Saharanpur became a part of the Slave
Dynasty. Muhammad Tughlag reached northern doab to crush the rebellion
of Shiwalik Kings in 1340. There he came to know about the presence
of a Sufi saint on the banks of'Paondhoi' river. He went to see him thereand ordered that henceforth the place
should be known as 'Shah-Harunpur' by the name of Saint Shah Harun
Chisti.
Akbar
was the first Mughal ruler who established civic administration
in Saharanpur and made it ' Saharanpur -Sarkar' under Delhi province
and appointed a Governor. The Jagir of saharanpur was honoured
to Raja Sah Ranveer Singh who founded the city of Saharanpur.
At that time Saharanpur was a small village and served as army
cantt area. The nearest settlement at that time were Shekhpura
and Malhipur . Most of the part of Saharanpur was covered by forests
and Paondhoi' 'Dhamola' and 'Ganda Nala ( Kregi Nala) were swampy/marshy.
The climate was humid hence it was prone to malaria.
