In pages of history and revenue records, SARVAT was known as pargana which was given as JAGIR to one of the chieftains named SAIYED MUZAFFARKHAN by emperor SHAHJHAN. He founded the city of Un-Divided Muzaffarnagar in 1633 with lands of KHERA & SUJRU. His project was completed by his son MUNAWAR LASHKAR KHAN who in turn named the city after his father MUZAFFARKHAN. But the recent finding of archeological site at village MANDI (Tehsil SADAR) in the west of river KALI takes the roots of district Un-Divided Muzaffarnagar to HARAPPAN civilization. Hordes of the gold ring like objects and other precious stones prove that the site was the part of the mature HARAPPAN culture and also an important center of trade during ancient times. Proximity with HASTINAPUR and KURUKSHEHTRA indicates that this district was a hub of activities during the MAHABHARAT era. With exceptions of few findings of GREECO-ROMAN coins, there is hardly any direct mention of the region for a long period of time. But with the strategic location of MUZAFFAR NAGAR, it can be safely presumed that there were a lot of political as well as economic activities here. RAJPUTS, TAGAS and BRAHMINS dominated the area according to C.H.NEVILLE, I.C.S. in his compilation of Un-Divided Muzaffarnagar Gazetteer. Later JATS replaced the TAGAS.
