Yamunanagar district

Yamunanagar is an administrative district in northern Haryana that extends across about 1,750 square kilometers along the eastern Yamuna River boundary. The area divides into several towns and villages, with Jagadhri serving as a key transportation hub.

The district came into existence in 1989 when authorities separated it from the former Ambala and Kurukshetra districts to create a new administrative region. This restructuring was part of wider reforms to Haryana's administrative boundaries.

The region hosts traditional craftspeople whose work in wood production defines the local identity and everyday commerce. Walking through towns, you notice workshops where artisans continue these practices as part of community life.

The region connects through rail links and national highways that link it to other parts of northern India with good accessibility. The best time to visit is between October and March when the weather remains mild and pleasant.

The district hosts India's largest concentration of plywood factories, making it a center for wood processing across the country. This industry has shaped local economy and urban development for decades.
