History

During the Mughal rule, Narnaul was a flourishing town. Approximately 500 years before the Vikram Samvat year 1962, during the reign of Akbar, his governor Nawab Shah Quli Khan constructed numerous buildings and established several gardens in Narnaul. He also built a mausoleum there. Later, Sonu Choudhary gained control of Nangal Choudhary. He subsequently shared possession of the land with Sitaram. These two then divided the land among their descendants. Over time, four Hindu castes – Malis, Brahmins, Prajapatis, and Rajputs – came to possess equal shares of the land. They governed it and collected revenue from its cultivation.

Originally, when Udai re-established this village, he named it Udai Nangal. The exact time when it became known as Nangal Choudhary is unclear. However, the Choudhary family of this village made significant donations and built schools. In recognition of this generosity, the villagers renamed the village as an act of respect and gratitude towards the family, who later migrated to Kolkata around the 1950s when it was the capital of India. This village has a continuous history on its original site and has never been uninhabited or relocated.

Subsequently, the Nawab of Jhajjar leased this village on a sharecropping (Batai) basis and collected the associated dues. In the year 1914 of the Samvat calendar, a British officer contracted out this land for one year at a rate of Rs 1525. However, after Samvat 1915, the Maharaja of Patiala revoked this contract and resumed direct revenue collection.

In 2012, Nangal Choudhary's administrative status was elevated by the Chief Minister of Haryana, Mr. Bhupender Singh Hooda, who granted it Tehsil and Municipal Committee status. On May 9, 2023, the Haryana Government further upgraded Nangal Choudhary to a Sub-Division. infrastructural improvements in Nangal Choudhary include a new Fire Station, Bus Stand, Sewage Treatment Plant (STP), a well-maintained sewerage system, along with well-constructed internal roads, a new Judicial Complex and a Mini-Secretariat for the sub-division. Nangal Choudhary already has a modern Police Station equipped with CCTV surveillance in key town squares, monitored by the police. Furthermore, the newly constructed 10-lane expressway (NH 148-B) connecting Narnaul to the NH8 Junction, which bypasses the main part of Nangal Choudhary (creating a 3-sided ring road), has established a distinct identity for the town and significantly eased travel to neighboring areas. The anticipated Integrated Multimodal Logistics Hub (IMLH) is also expected to be a major catalyst for future growth in the region.
