History
The area comprising the present Sri Ganganagar district has been a part of the erstwhile Bikaner State of former Rajputana. Sri Ganganagar was established by Maharaja Ganga Singh. Sri Ganganagar is one of the first well-planned modern cities of India. It is divided into residential blocks and a commercial area which includes an agricultural marketplace.
It is located at the point where the Sutlej River enters Rajasthan and the former Bikaner State. This area first came under the jurisdiction of Bahawalpur state, but the area was unguarded, and Hindu Mal, a companion of Maharaja Ganga Singh, took advantage of this opportunity and moved the posts along the boundary. He started his journey to change posts from Suratgarh in the south, and went until what is now Hindumalkot in the north. He informed the Maharaja about his successful invasion of the area when he reached the northern part and thereafter died, giving name to the city Hindumalkot.
