Faridabad is a southeastern town in the state of Haryana founded in 1607 AD by Shaikh Farid, Emperor Jehangir's treasurer. Located 30 kms south of Delhi, it is planned in a semi circle with the Industrial area along the circumference surrounding the town. One of the oldest towns in Haryana, it is a bustling industrial town, although the district itself is the 12th one to be formed. To protect the Delhi-Agra High Road, Faridabad was constituted a municipality in 1867. It is widely believed that Baba Farid, an eminent Sufi saint, founded Faridabad. Being a project for Pakistani refugee resettlement after the partition, light industrial development was initiated in the town in 1950. Now famous for its tourist resorts, refugees laid down the initial infrastructure of the present Faridabad. Despite having emerged on the Industrial map of India as late as the second five year plan in the late fifties Faridabad is today the tenth largest Industrial town in the country. There are about 200 large & medium units & 15000 small-scale units. Faridabad alone is generating about 60% of the revenues of Haryana.
