According to the most commonly accepted legend, Neemrana is said to be named after the defeated chieftain, Nimola Meva. Another legend says it is named after Neem (Azadirachta indica) trees.
Historyedit
Neemrana Fort Palace was constructed in 1464 AD by Maharaja of ParmarRajputs, and supported by Chauhans of Ajmer. Subsequently, converted into the first heritage hotel of India in the mid 1970s. Chauhans of Ajmer after the loss of Delhi, returned to Neemrana village.
Topographyedit
Neemrana town proper is surrounded by the Aravalli Hills to the north and acts as a gateway to the Sahibi River Valley. The soil surrounding the hills is not fertile. There are scanty surface water resources. Sahibi river, which flows around 5 km south east, is usually dry. Various small streams used to emerge from the hills but are now dry.
The Rajasthan government, through the Rajasthan State Industrial Development & Investment Corporation (RIICO), has developed industrial zones in various stages in Neemrana in the past several years. Apart from the usual industrial areas, the Export Promotion Industrial Park (EPIP) and the Japanese Industrial Zone in Majra Kath are particularly noteworthy. India's first Japanese SEZ which is tax-concession-based was established here. Besides major industries like Hero Motocorp, Daikin and Parle Agro present here, India's first microgrid solar power plant was established in Neemrana.[1]
