Farrukhnagar state was founded by Dalil Khan Baloch, surnamed Faujdar Khan in the time of Farrukhser. He called his place Farrukhnagar after the Emperor, and populated it with his own people in 1150 H.
Indian Notes and Queries - Volume 1 - Page 31
Dalil Khan assumed the title of Nawab in 1732, and the Nawabs' of Farrukhnagar played an important part in the history of the tract for the next seventy years. Farrukhriagar was captured by the Jats of Bharatpur in 1757, but recovered in 1764. On annexation the Nawabs were confirmed in -their principality, but it was confiscated in 1858 for the complicity of the reigning chief in the Mutiny.
Imperial Gazetteer of India, v. 12, p. 73.
According to GURGAON DISTRICT GAZETTEER - 1883-84 page 21,
"The Emperor Farrukhsiar (1712 to 1718 A.D.) granted. Biloch named Dalel Khan, but who afterwards earned the title of Faujdar Khan, the son of zamindar of Khurrampur in this district , several large jagirs and the site of the present town of Farrukhnagar, which was founded by him. His four eldest sons were killed in battle, and he was succeeded by his youngest son, Kamgar Khan,whose son, Muse Khan, was the ruler of Farrukhnagar at the time of Suraj Mal's invasion. Suraj Mal captured Farrukhnagar and took away Muse Khan with him to Bhartpur, where he was kept prisoner until Suraj Mal's death in 1764 A.D., when he escaped by the connivance of the jailor and regained possession of Farrukhnagar, which continued to be ruled by this Biloch fsmil y until the Mutiny of 1857."
According to Dr.K.R.Qanungo, History of Jats page 87,
"Suraj Mal having failed to capture Farrukhnagar, , held by a powerful Baloch chief, Musavi Khan, himself came with all his forces and big artillery and laid siege to it. Two months passed away and Musavi Khan being hard pressed, consented to surrender it "if Suraj Mal would take an oath on the Ganges water not to hinder his departure:" But the Jat on this occasion made the same unscrupulous use of the sanctity of the Ganges as that of the Quran by some Muslim rulers.
The Baloch chief was made a prisoner and sent to Bharatpur. Sin prospered for a while only to make the retribution more terrible and shocking. Rewari, Garhi Harsaru and Rohtak had already fallen into the hands of Suraj Mal. He now turned his arms against Bahadurgarh, about 12 kos to the west of Delhi, the strong-hold of another powerful Baloch chief Bahadur Khan."
Baloch rule over Hisar district
In the early years of the 18th century, we find Hisar under the rule of Nawab Shahdad Khan of Kasur (1707-1737).Then Biloches of Farrukhnagar (Gurgaon), ruled upto 1760 successively. During the Biloch rule, the district became the scene of a sort of triangular duel between the sturdy Sikhs of the north-east, the marauding Bhattis of the north and north-west and the Muslim chiefs of the south.
