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:
“Unfortunately, many things have been omitted which should have been recorded in our journal; for though we made it a rule to set down all our experiences therein, yet such a resolution is very hard to keep, for the important experience rarely allows us to remember such obligations, and so indifferent things get recorded, while that is frequently neglected. It is not easy to write in a journal what interests us at any time, because to write it is not what interests us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Helping children at a level of genuine intellectual inquiry takes imagination on the part of the adult. Even more, it takes the courage to become a resource in unfamiliar areas of knowledge and in ones for which one has no taste. But parents, no less than teachers, must respect a child’s mind and not exploit it for their own vanity or ambition, or to soothe their own anxiety.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
“Local television shows do not, in general, supply make-up artists. The exception to this is Los Angeles, an unusually generous city in this regard, since they also provide this service for radio appearances.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
