History

As per historical background given in district gazette, in the beginning of the nineteenth century, a British man established a bungalow near the railway station village of Jatauli. Lord Hailey from Britain was placed here and was in charge of the area during British Raj. With the passage of time, the commercial activities (Mandi) developed due to the nearness to railway station. The place derives its name from the name of Bungalow i.e. "Haily" and "Mandi". With the passage of time, mandi has been developed into a major grain market and became the main source of employment of the area.[2] In the year 1937 onwards two small hamlets (villages) namely TODAPUR was established by Late Seth TODAR MAL JAIN 24/02/1910-15/03/1947 by giving land free of cost particularly to poor and very poor people who were later called HARIJANS.
