History

Duncan Sommerville

In the early 19th century, Beawar was a village. By 1825, the British acquired control of the Ajmer-Merwara region, and established a cantonment around 4 miles from the existing village. In 1836, they attracted merchants and constructed a bazaar (market), which became the core of a site called "Naya Shahar" or "Naya Nagar" ("New Town").[2] Colonel George Dickson (1795-1857) established this new town on the waste land adjacent to the cantonment and the original Beawar village. The area eventually evolved into the present-day town of Beawar.[3]

The population of the town rose substantially over the next decade, as it became the centre of cotton trade. In 1871, the battalion was moved from the local cantonment to Ajmer, but the town continued remained an important trading centre.[2]

A municipality was established at Beawar in 1866.[4] In 1880, railway reached the town, and in 1881, Krishna Cotton Mill was established there. By 1901, the town had a population of 21,928, with 48.6 of the work force employed in the manufacturing sector (38% in cotton textiles industry). Metalwork, calico printing, and grain trade were the other important industries of the town.[2]

Beawar is the birthplace of classical mathematician Duncan Sommerville.[5]
