Alwar was a dense forest area during the time of mahabharat and it is still visible with its thickly wooded Aravalli mountains. According to forest statistics of Rajasthan 2009, fifty eight sq. km. of very dense forest has been ascertained only in Alwar district.

Because of its strategic location near imperial Delhi and its position as a gateway to old Rajputana, almost every dynasty and ruler tried to win this part of ancient Matsya Mahajanpad. That’s why the Mauryas, Guptas, Gurjar-Pratihars, Nikumbhs, Khanjadas, Mugals, Jats and kachhwahas ruled this area. The foundation of first city known as Alpur was laid by Maharaj Alaghrai, son of king Kankildev of Amber in 1049 AD. Which was destroyed by Sultan Balban to bring the area under muslim rule and suppress the populace who did not accept any external interference and stood up in arms against foreign invasions. The ruins of old Alpur can be seen near Alwar fort, The Bala Quila. Today Alwar is a flourishing industrial area with big industries and MNC’s and emerging as educational hub of Rajasthan with the establishment of new institutions of various deciplines.
