History

The town of Parikshitgarh is named after Parikshit, the grandson of Arjuna, who became king of Hastinapur when the five brothers renounced the world and went into the Himalayas. Both the towns are similarly located on small hillocks which were the original fortresses at these locations.

A massive inundation about 3000 years ago during a great flood in the Ganges totally drowned the cities and left them choked with silt up to roof level.

परीक्षितगढ़

विजयेन्द्र कुमार माथुर[1] ने लेख किया है ...परीक्षितगढ़, जिला मेरठ, उ.प्र., (AS, p.532): हस्तिनापुर से प्राय 10 मील दूर स्थित है. कहा जाता है कि महाभारत युद्ध के पश्चात कुरु देश की राजधानी हस्तिनापुर गंगा की बाढ़ में बह गई थी. इसलिए पांडवों के पुत्र और अभिमन्यु के पुत्र परीक्षित ने हस्तिनापुर के निकट परीक्षितगढ़ नामक नया नगर बसाया था. परीक्षितगढ़ नाम का कस्बा अभी तक विद्यमान है.
