History
The city was founded in 1607 by Sheikh Farīd, treasurer to the Mughal emperor Jahangir, to protect the Grand Trunk Road between Delhi and Agra, and lies in the cultural region of Braj and Mewat. In Independent India, Faridabad was initially a part of Gurgaon district which was later made an independent district on 15 August 1979. After partition in 1947, under the leadership of Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay, over 50000 refugees were resettled in Faridabad, reviving the economy and social life of the city.
Nearby Tilpat (then "Tilprastha") was one of the five villages demanded by Pandavas to avert a disastrous war.
