Indian history is not clear about role of jats in the history. It is because historians have limited to the boundaries of India only. They take Jumbodvip to be identical with India and search for solutions. It is found that many names of vedic people are from the region of the ancient Iraq. Therefore in the words of G.M.Bangad-Levin and B.Y.Stavisky, “It is here (in Central Asia) that the answers to many unsolved mysteries of history and the culture of east should be sought.” For a correct interpretation of our ancient history and medieval history we have to study the movement of ideas and people.
Jats have ruled over a large portion of the world in ancient times. They founded many cities in the world. I found from limited available records following cities founded by different jat gotras.
1.Baharaich(Uttar Pradesh):- Founded by Baharaich gotra jats.(Jat Samaj 9/10/1999)
2.Bhind(Madhya Pradesh):- Founded by Bhindtomar a subgotra of Tomar jats.(Jat Samaj 6/1999)

5.Chittorgarh(Rajasthan):-Founded by Jatri gotra jats. It was previously known as Jittor.(Jat Samaj 3/1999)
6.Churu(Rajasthan):-Founded by jat chieftain named Churra in c.1620(Britannica 2001)
7.Delhi:-Founded by Dhillon jats.

23.Urai(Uttar Pradesh):- Founded by Uria gotra jats.
Study of history or local unrecorded knowledge may reveal more cities which have been founded by jats but do not find place in history should be brought on record.
 
Dharmpal ji namaskar,
Good addition.I am sure every gotra has its history.What we need to do is to search old records or ask our elderly people or contact our bhadwas who keep regular family records.I am from Churu in Rajasthan,but I did not know its history. I could find in the Encyclopaedia Britannica that Churu was founded by a Jat chieftain.To save the jat pride we will have to go deep and find the glorious past.
Sumer singh ji Namaskar.Do you know more history of your home town Rajgarh?It was established by your gotra Punia.
Thanks Sanjay ji & Yajuvendra ji

Thanks Dharmpalji, more on jat cities-
Gohad(Madhya Pradesh)-
Bamraulia gotra jats from Bamrauli(near Agra) in 1905 founded the city Gohad near Gwalior. Later it developed into an important Jat State. The Jat rulers of Gohad were awarded upadhi of RANA. They also occupied the Gwalior fort whre they constructed historical monument-The Chhatri of Mahraja Bhim Singh and Bhimtal. Jat Samaj Kalyan Parishad Gwalior organises Mela here on Ram Navami every year.

Bharatpur -
The 'Eastern Gateway to Rajasthan', was founded by Maharaja Suraj Mal in 1733 AD, it was once an impregnable well fortified city, carved out of the region formerly known as Mewat. The trio of Bharatpur, Deeg and Dholpur has played an important part in the history of Rajasthan.


The place was named as Bharatpur after the name of Bharat, the brother of Lord Rama, whose other brother Laxman was worshipped as the family deity of the Bharatpur. The legends say the rulers Laxman's name is engraved on the state arms and the seals. The city and the fort have been believed to be founded by Rustam, a Jat of Sogariya clan. Maharaja Suraj Mal took over from Khemkaran, the son of Rustam, and established the empire. He fortified the city by building a massive wall around the city.

The interesting aspect of the Bharatpur history is the domination of Jats in the region since 17th century. Leaders like Churaman and Badan Singh brought the jats together to mould them into a force to reckon with. Suraj Mal has been the greatest ruler who made them a formidable force and played a very important role in the Indian history during 19th century.
 
DEEG :-

North of Bharatpur is this beautiful garden town, the gardens have been laid with great care and precision, the sparkling fountains and meticulous palaces add to he beauty of this idyllic retreat of the princes of Bharatpur. The tourist enjoy the charming settings of this agricultural town,along with the well preserved palace pavilions and gardens.
 
Dholpur( India)


BRIEF HISTORY: The present dynasty, claiming descent from the Moon, received Dholpur from Gwalior, against their former territory ceded to Gwalior. Bharatpur annexed Dholpur in 1761. Gwalior conquered Dholpur in 1782 from Bharatpur. This state was founded in 1004 by Dholan Deo Tonwar. Formerly in Rajputana, the state had 3,038 km2 in Rajasthan. Alternative official name is Dhaulpur

Jhajjar (Haryana):


Inhabited about eight hundred years ago, Jhajjar city has many pages of history engulfed in it , Historical buildings, mausoleums, water-pools having at their banks give the reflection of the historical tradition of this city . At the time of Gori 's attack on the king Prithvi Raj in 1191 A.D., the area of Jhajjar was a deserted forest. There was a town named Malokan in the east of present Jhajjar city, mostly inhabited by Jats. Delhi and its adjoining area was affected worst in the battle between Gori and Prithvi Raj . Most of the villages were deserted adjoining area of Delhi by the devastation of war. Malokan was also among there ill-fated villages. Having left their homes and belongings, the residents of Malokan started living here and there. The rule of Gori was well-established in Delhi. Villages started inhabiting again.

Brave Chajju Jat, resident of Malokan village made an appeal to Emperor Shabuddin Gori to rehabilitate the village . Malokan village had fought bravely to defend the country against the Goris, probably due to that the emperor rejected the appeal of the residents of Malokan and ordered to rehabilitate the village somewhere else, and with this order foundation of Jhajjar city was laid by Chajju Jat.
