Gurgaon History

A fast developing city, originally it was named 'Guru Gram' or 'Guru Gaon' (the 'village of the teacher'). According to the famous epic Mahabharata, Yudhisthir gave this land to Guru Dronacharya for teaching warfare and the use of arms to the five Pandavas when they were young. This is said to be the place where Dronacharya taught archery to the Pandavas. During the Medieval period, the people of Gurgaon have experienced changing fortunes at the hands of Muslim Rulers. It was in end of 1803 that the East India Company took over possession of Gurgaon through a treaty signed by Surji Arjungaon. The battle of Indian freedom enlisted the support and active participation of people of Gurgaon.
