JWALAPUR' An old part of the city, Jwalapur is the financial & industrial capital of the city, and now an important trading and shopping centre for the locals. The town has old history ranging from 1700 AD. This town was called Mohammed pura and ruled by a local Muslim ruler. In early 1600s the running away family of Sisodias from Mewar, descendents of Rana Pratap evading mughals came to settle on outskirts of Haridwar. The families kept low for almost a generation to avoid detection. The locals renamed their surname to Mehta. It is firmly believed that in early 1700 the Mehtas dislodged the Muslim ruler and renamed the town as Jwalapur. This family subsequently settled in Jwalapur itself and inter married with the local population.

Famous quotes containing the words important, areas and/or city:
“Let children know you are human. It’s important for children to see that parents are human and make mistakes. When you’re sorry about something you’ve said or done, apologize! But don’t sound guilt ridden. It is best when parents apologize in a manner that is straightforward and sincere.”
—Saf Lerman (20th century)
“Adults understandably assume that the level of verbal proficiency a five-year-old displays represents his level of proficiency in all areas of functioning—if he talks like an adult, he must think and feel like one. However, five-year-olds,... belie the promise of adult-like behavior with their child-like, impulsive actions.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
“There was never a revolution to equal it, and never a city more glorious than Petrograd, and for all that period of my life I lived another and braved the ice of winter and the summer flies in Vyborg while across my adopted country of the past, winds of the revolution blew their flame, and all of us suffered hunger while we drank at the wine of equality.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
