History
It is about 1832 when the economic situation of Bikaner state was weak. The city was founded in Bikaner in the name of princes. There was a need to settle the city to boost the falling economy. Took the task to Hukum Chand Surana to make this idea work. At that time the Diwan of the state was Baid Mehta by whom all the letter/ orders of Sardarshahar were written.
Rai Bahadur Hukam Singh Sodhi, Diwan of Bikaner State has written in his book Physical and Political Geography of Bikaner State with Historical Notes, describing the 1891 census. The total population of Sardarshahar Tehsil is 44911, out of which 23,313 were males and 21,598 females. At that time there were also 2 police stations Sardarshahar. Sodhi had mentioned the important place of this tehsil to Sardarshahar where at that time there was a British post office and an Anglo-Vernacular school near 1890. There was also a small stronghold where 2 cannons were also kept. Not a single drop of rain fell in most of the land, the development of Sardarshahar was stopped for a few years.
