Etymology
Shahdara means "door of kings" in Urdu. The origin of the name lies in two Persian words: shah meaning "kings" and dara, a door or entrance. Shahdara might have originated from ‘shahi dara or dariya’, since it is near the river (dariya) Yamuna.[3]
History
The Shahdara district was formed in September 2012.[4]
In the 18th century CE, Shahdara had grain warehouses and wholesale grain markets which supplied the Paharganj grain market, across the Yamuna river.[5]
Administration
Shahdara consists of 3 Subdivision- Shahdara, Vivek Vihar and Seemapuri.[6]
