==Origin of name==
Its present name has been derived from two of its ancient names- ''Arunodaya'' and ''Aranyarodan''. Legend has it that Arnod had very thick forests, so much so that no human being was inhabited in this region. Lord [[Krishna]], in ''[[Dvapara Yuga]]'' got a portion of this huge forest trimmed for Pandawas for their brief, but eventful stay during secret-exile, thus this name. It was also called land of "Arunodaya"- a region, where the morning sun first of all disseminates its golden rays.

==History==
The [[Sisodia]] clan [[Rajput]]s of Arnod were the direct descendants of 'Maharaj' Lal Singh, the younger son of Maharawat Salim Singh of [[Pratapgarh district, Rajasthan|Pratapgarh]] (1756–1774), who were allotted this ''Jagir'' of Arnod. (1774–1840). Lal Singh was born in 1767 AD, who built a small fortress in village Lalgarh. Arjun Singh, the son of Lal Singh, was enthroned on this ''Jagir'' in 1829.
