History of town dates back to at least the 1st century, as evidenced by the discovery of 31 x 22 x 5&nbsp;cm bricks, found during excavation of a mound at Bawani Khera that belong to the [[Kushan Empire|Kushan]]-[[Gupta Empire]]s era (1st - 6th centuries).<ref name=hargazc1>[http://revenueharyana.gov.in/Portals/0/hr-gaz-ch-5.pdf Haryana Gazateer], Revennue Dept of Haryana, Capter-V.</ref><br />

===[[Medieval India#Late medieval era|Late medieval era]]===<br />
According to the [[oral tradition]] of the present inhabitants, the town has been continuously inhabited by their ancestors for the last 700 years. Among the ancient sites are the ''[[Dera (organization)|dera]]s'' of [[Nath]]s and [[Dadu Dayal|Dadupanthi]]s. The Dera of Naths founded by [[Mahant]] ''Bali Nath'' is older and even predates the village. The Dera of Naths also has a 3 centuries old [[Shiva]]laya called ''Shri Gauri Shankar mandir''.<ref name=hargazc1/><br />
