The Gurgaon District Gazetteer of 1910 is a historical document that provides a comprehensive overview of the Gurgaon district at the beginning of the 20th century. It details the district's geography, history, society, economy, and administration during that period. The reissue of this work is both a timely and valuable contribution to the study of the district’s administrative, cultural, and environmental history. Compiled during the British colonial administration, this volume forms part of a series of district-level reports that served not only as reference tools for colonial governance but also as comprehensive records of regional life in pre-independence India. This is the second of the two gazetteers published during this period, the first being in 1883-84.
This reprint makes the Gazetteer accessible once again to a broader audience, at a time when the historical geography and cultural evolution of the National Capital Region are of growing academic and civic interest.
This edition will serve as a seminal resource for historians, policy researchers, planners, and all those interested in understanding how the past continues to shape the present.
