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 emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar, surrendered to British and tried by military court martial in Delhi on 27 November 1857.
