== History ==
=== British colonial era===
{{anchor | Charkhi Dadri Princely state}}

During [[British raj]], Charkhi Dadri was a princely state with an area of 575sq miles and revenue of Rs 103,000 annually. In [[Indian Rebellion of 1857]], the Nawab of Dadri, Bahadur Jung Khan who had given token allegiance to [[mughal empire|mughal emperor]] [[Bahadur Shah Zafar]], surrendered to British and tried by military court martial in Delhi on 27 November 1857. He was removed to [[Lahore]]. Dadri was awarded to Raja [[Swarup Singh of Jind|Swarup Singh]] of [[Jind State]] of the [[Phulkian sardars|Phulkian dynasty]] for his services to [[British East India Company]] in the 1857 war.

In May 1874, fifty villages revolted against his descendant Raja [[Raghubir Singh Jind]] but the rebellion was crushed with force. Three principal villages which took part in the rebellion, Charkhi, Mankawas and Jhojhu, were burned down as a result.
