Origin and etymology

as some historian states, jind riyasat is being surfaced by the sikh maharaja ranjeet singh on the name of his youngest queen and mother of the prince duleep singh "maharani jind kaur", as still we found the archeological proof to support the claim, jind is very near to the patiala riyasat so the city itself get its name by maharani jind kaur.

mythological Jind name came up from Jaintapuri. It is also said that this town had been founded at the time of the Mahabharata. According to an old saying, the Pandavas built the Jayanti Devi Temple in honour of Jainti Devi (the goddess of victory), offered prayers for success, and then launched the battle with the Kauravas. The town grew up around the temple and was named Jaintapuri (Abode of Jainti Devi) which later on came to be known as Jind.

History
Raja Gajpat Singh, a great grandson of Phul, the founder of the Phulkian Misl, established an independent Sikh kingdom by seizing with Sikh armed forces a large tract of country which included the territory occupied by the present district of Jind from the Afghan invader and governor Zain Khan in 1763 and made Jind city, the capital of the state in 1776. He made a fort here in 1775. Later, Sangrur was chosen as capital of Jind State by Raja Sangat Singh (reigned 1822 to 1834). After independence, Jind State was merged with the Indian union and the territory of the present district became part of Sangrur district of Patiala and East Punjab States Union on 15 July 1948. At the time of its creation of Haryana state on 1 November 1966, Sangrur district was bifurcated and its Jind and Narwana tehsils were merged to form Jind district, one of the seven districts of the newly formed state. Jind tehsil was bifurcated to two tehsils: Jind and Safidon in 1967.
