Yamunanagar’s history is a short one. Following the partition of India in 1947, Punjabi ethnic groups that found themselves in Pakistani territory relocated to Yamunanagar. These early settlers realized the agriculture potential of the land, and farmed poplar trees for timber trade. This jump-started the industries and attracted immigrants to relocate here, giving Yamunanagar a diverse cultural environment.

Immigrants added to the growth of the industries, and gave rise to more trading and work opportunities. In turn, this attracted more immigrants to relocate here. This cycle continues even today. Yamunanagar currently stands as the second-highest revenue generator in Haryana, after Faridabad. The constantly growing industries and population has made real estate development a common interest. Yamunanagar’s geographical boundaries continue to expand.
