==History==

===Early history===
Prehistoric evidence has been found in Mohali and its surrounding regions. Due to the presence of the lake, fossil remains with imprints of a large variety of aquatic plant, animal, and [[amphibian]] life have been found. As a part of the [[Punjab|Punjab region]], it has many rivers in the areas where it is speculated that ancient and primitive settlements by humans began. Some 8,000 years ago, the area was also known to be a home to the [[Indus Valley civilisation|Harappans]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://chandigarhdistrict.nic.in/history/ |title=Historical Background of Chandigarh |publisher=Government of Chandigarh }}</ref>

===Medieval history===
Mohali means ''settlement''. The [[Mohali Village|village of Mohali]] was a part of the [[Sikh Empire]].<ref>Village Leadership: A Case Study of Village Mohali in Punjab: Harjinder Singh; Sterling Publishers, 1968</ref>

The village Lambian, located in the city, was visited by [[Guru Har Rai]], the 7th Guru of the Sikhs.<ref name="Kuram Labana"/> A battle took place here between the British and 500 Sikhs under the command of [[Akali Hanuman Singh]], in which [[Akali Hanuman Singh]] attained martyrdom.

===Modern history===
After the [[partition of India]] in 1947, the [[Punjab Province (British India)|former British province of Punjab]] was split between [[east Punjab]] in India and [[west Punjab]] in Pakistan.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.citybeautiful.in/chandigarhhistory.aspx |title=Chandigarh history |work=City Beautiful |access-date=21 March 2015 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150505154250/http://www.citybeautiful.in/chandigarhhistory.aspx |archive-date=5 May 2015 }}</ref> The Indian Punjab required a new capital city to replace [[Lahore]], which became part of Pakistan during partition.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.chandigarh.co.uk/history.html |title=Chandigarh History |work=Chandigarh Guide |access-date=12 March 2015 }}</ref><ref name="Government Information">{{cite web |url=http://chandigarh.gov.in/knowchd_general.htm |title=About Chandigarh |publisher=Government of Chandigarh |access-date=12 March 2015 }}</ref> Consequently, the government made Chandigarh from nearly 50 [[Puadhi language|Puadhi]] speaking villages of the then state of [[East Punjab]], India.<ref>{{cite news |last=Sharma| first=Sanjay |date=12 May 2014 |title=Displaced for making Chandigarh, their marginalization is still on |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chandigarh/Displaced-for-making-Chandigarh-their-marginalization-is-still-on/articleshow/13136226.cms |work=[[The Times of India]] |access-date=23 March 2021 }}</ref>

Mohali was conceived after the trifurcation of Punjab and its capital Chandigarh became a Union Territory in the late 1960s. In 1967, the area around [[Mohali Village]] was initially developed as an industrial estate; this was broadened with residential areas to meet housing demands.<ref>''Corb's Capitol: a journey through Chandigarh's architecture'': Sangeet Sharma: A3 foundation, 26 September 2010,</ref> The township plan for Mohali was put forward by the [[All India Congress Committee]] during the annual session held in 1975 at Mohali. On 1 November 1975, Punjab Chief Minister Giani [[Zail Singh]] laid the foundation stone of Mohali township and named it Sahibzada Ajit Singh Nagar. It was rechristened to '''Ajitgarh''' by the union government in the year 2012, as it was felt at that time that the name, SAS Nagar, was too long.<ref name="auto1">{{cite news |last1=Prashar |first1=Abhijit |title=Mohali is now Ajitgarh |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chandigarh/mohali-is-now-ajitgarh/articleshow/11866205.cms |access-date=11 March 2022 |work=The Times of India |date=13 February 2012 |language=en}}</ref>
