History

Dhrangadhra has a long history, starting from the Lower Paleolithic period. The river named Falku passes from Dhrangadhra town. The evidence is from the river bed of the Bhadar river which flows along the Dhragadhra taluka. Moreover, there are many Harappan-period sites. Recent studies in the area suggest that the Dhragadhra and Halvad taluka were the frontiers of the so-called sorat Harappans which bifurcates the Sidhi Harrapans of Kutch & Sindh.
