From the historical cultural, theological and archeological point of view the area is a prosperous one. This has been proved from the research work and excavations done in Trans-Hindon. The excavation carried out at the mound of Kaseri situated on the bank of the Hindon River, 2 km north of Mohan Nagar shows that civilization was developed here in 2500 BC. [1] 
During the reign of Sultan Muhammad bin Tughluq in 1313, this entire region had become a huge battlefield. [2] Sultan Nasiruddin who was famous for his simplicity and honesty spent his childhood in the Loni fort nearby. The attack of Taimur came on the Loni fort and the human massacre by him are well known references of history. The importance of Loni increased during the Mughal period as the Mughal emperors used to come here for hunting and pleasure trips. A Baage Ranap is a memorial of that period. This area also witnessed fierce battles during the Revolt of 1857, as the revolting Sepoys marched into Delhi through this place and the company forces tried to stop them. Being very close to Shahdara, which has been a very important centre for trade and commerce to the east of Yamuna, for the last 400 years, it can be presumed that Shalimar Garden and nearby areas have ever since been very prosperous. The modern locality of Shalimar Garden, although is very new relatively and started developing only in the late 1960s, when small labour settlements started springing up thanks to the new industrial set-ups in the Sahibabad Industrial area. By the early 70's, local real estate developers, keeping in mind the locational advantage of the area, started developing the area by deforesting the remaining jungles and acquiring the farmlands from the villagers of Pasonda and Bhopura. Streets were laid, and other civic amenities like sanitation, drainage, electricity etc. were taken care of and numerous plots of varying sizes were sold off. Until, the late nineties, almost all the plots had landed in the hands of small and big builder-promoters, who promptly constructed an apartment building on every plot, thus over-burdening the infrastructure greatly. This, until the close of the last decade, caused a lot of infrastructural problems right from frequent load shedding to water-scarcity, etc. but those were teething problems every new establishment faces, and now they are beginning to get sorted out as is also the case in other neighbouring localities. All this while, the population of the area, swelled enormously and acquired a pleasant cosmopolitan feel. Most of the new settlers were from far-off places of North, South and East India. They were generally white  or blue collar professionals working at the Industries nearby and many also in Central Delhi Offices. Most chose the locality because of its locational advantage, easy access from the central business district of Delhi, and affordability. Also, a large community of displaced Pandits from the Kashmir Valley settled up here under their rehabilitation plan, starting from the early nineties. Thus, it came to be a middle-class haven and is today a bustling locality with a vibrant cultural life. Popular Place
