Faridabad district, Administrative district near New Delhi, India

Faridabad district extends across 741 square kilometers of northern India, containing industrial zones, residential neighborhoods, and agricultural sectors within the National Capital Region.

The district originated in 1979 when authorities separated it from Gurugram, establishing an independent administrative zone named after Sheikh Farid, a 15th-century Sufi saint.

The district maintains strong connections to traditional North Indian practices through local festivals, regional customs, and the preservation of Haryanvi cultural expressions.

The district contains three administrative subdivisions - Faridabad, Ballabgarh, and Badkhal - each managed by dedicated civil servants who oversee public services.

Archaeological discoveries in the Mangar Bani forest within the district revealed Paleolithic cave paintings, representing some of the earliest human art in India.
