Gurgaon has a long history going back to the protohistoric period or even earlier. From the legend of Mahabharata to the Sultanate and Colonial era, Gurgaon has much to claim and cherish its heritage, roots and vibrant traditions. The district's cultural heritage, both tangible and intangible, is not only ancient but also varied and rich. The Gurgaon present name is Gurugram. The Gazetteer is a well-preserved record of eco-social, cultural, historical, and anthropological data of Gurugram at the end of the nineteenth century. It provides a fascinating glimpse into the district's mosaic of life at that time. History, geography, flora and fauna...all coalesced together to create indelible images of Gurugram of that period. Such documentation initiatives that serve as a good reference source for future works in conserving, capitalizing and exhibiting Gurugram's historical, social and cultural heritage must be read.
