The modern city of Jamshedpur was established in 1912. It was named after industrialist Jamshedji Tata, who laid foundation of Asia's first steel plant in the city and established Tata Group. The city played active role in the World War I. It was a high value target during the Second World War. Following the independence of India, the city became part of Bihar. Jamshedpur was impacted severely by the communal riots in 1964 and 1979. It was also a centre of the statehood movement. In 2000, the city became part of newly-formed Jharkhand state.
A major commercial and industrial center in India, Jamshedpur is demographically diverse city. It has been ranked consistently as one of the cleanest cities in India by Swach Survekshan. The city is also ranked as 2nd in India in terms of quality of life. It is one of the fastest-growing global cities in the world. It is a local popular tourist destination known for its forests, ancient temples and royal palaces. Jamshedpur is one of the first Smart Cities in India along with Naya Raipur. It is the headquarters of the East Singhbhum district and is the 36th – largest urban agglomeration and 72nd largest city in India by population.[12][13][14] Jamshedpur is the only million plus city in India without a municipal corporation.
Etymology
In 1919 Lord Chelmsford named the city, which was early a village called Sakchi, to Jamshedpur in honour of its founder, Jamshedji Nausserwanji Tata, whose birthday is celebrated on 3 March as Founder's Day. J.N. Tata had written to his son Dorabji Tata about his vision of a great city in the area.[15] On Founders Day, the 225-acre (0.91 km2) Jubilee Park is decorated with brilliant lightwork for about a week.[16]
The city has several nicknames including "Steel City" (which was referenced during TATA Steel's "Green City—Clean City—Steel City" campaign); "Tatanagar" after the name of its railway station Tatanagar Railway Station or simply "Tata" in deference to the presence of Tata companies.[17] At one time it was also known as "Kalimati" (meaning "Land of Goddess Kali") after the village near the Sakchi area.[17] Sakchi was merged Jamshedpur as a neighborhod in 1919.[17] The only trace of the name is the main road through Sakchi area of Jamshedpur which is named Kalimati Road.[17]
History
Foundation and early history
Jamshedji Tata, founder of Tata Group
At the end of 19th century Jamshedji Nusserwanji Tata met steel makers in Pittsburgh to get the most advanced technology for his plant. It is said that he got the idea of building a steel plant when he heard Thomas Carlyle declaring that "the nation which gains control of iron soon acquires the control of gold" in a lecture in Manchester. At the turn of the twentieth century, Jamshetji Tata asked geologist Charles Page Perin to help him find the site to build India's first steel plant. The search for a site rich in iron, coal, limestone and water began in April 1904 in today's Madhya Pradesh.
The prospectors C. M. Weld, Dorabji Tata and Shapurji Saklatvala, took nearly three years in a painstaking search across vast stretches of inhospitable terrain to find a location.[18] One day they came across a village called Sakchi, on the densely forested stretches of the Chota Nagpur plateau, near the confluence of the Subarnarekha and Kharkai rivers.[18] It seemed to be the ideal choice and the place was selected.[18] In 1908 the construction of the plant as well as the city officially began.[18] The first steel ingot was rolled on 16 February 1912.[18] It was a momentous day in the history of industrial India.[18]
The first world war began in August 1914.[19] It rapidly escalated to West Asia centring around the Suez Canal of Egypt and from there to the region of Mesopotamia, now called Iraq.[19] It extended to East Africa, Palestine and rest of the Middle East.[19] Nearly 1,500 miles of rail and 3,00,000 tonnes of steel produced in Jamshedpur were used in military campaigns across Mesopotamia, Egypt, Salonica and East Africa.[19][20] After the end of the war in 1919, the company received warm acclaim from Britain.[20]
The city's construction continued.[20] Jamshedji's plan for the city was clear.[21] He envisioned far more than a mere row of workers hutments.[20] He insisted upon building all the comforts and conveniences a city could provide.[21] As a result, many areas in the city are well planned and there are public leisure places such as the Jubilee Park and Dimna Lake.[21][20] While building the city, Jamshedji Tata had said,
"Be sure to lay wide streets planted with shady trees, every other of a quick-growing variety. Be sure that there is plenty of space for lawns and gardens; reserve large areas for football, hockey and parks; earmark areas for Hindu temples, Muslim mosques and Christian churches."
Messrs Julin Kennedy Sahlin from Pittsburgh prepared the first layout of the town of Jamshedpur.[22] What the city looks like today is a testament to his visionary plans. In 1919, the industrial neighborhood was merged to form Jamshedpur according to Jamsetji Tata, the founder of the industrial establishment.[23][22] As a tribute to the company's contribution in the war, on the day of city's official opening, Lord Chelmsford visited and named Jamshedpur, in honor of Jamshedji Tata.
World War II started in 1939 in the European countries and extended to the Middle East and rest of Asia.[24] The city was a high-value target for Japan during the war.[24] The British government sought to protect the city from attacks.[24] Several bomb shelters were set up across the city, while anti-aircraft guns were placed on the outskirts.[24] British and American troops were brought into Jamshedpur.[24] Additional airfields were built at Chakulia and Kalaikunda, surrounded by several underground bunkers.[24] A series of wheeled armoured carriers, known as 'Tatanagars', contributing to the war effort, were manufactured in Jamshedpur.[24][19] Between 1940 and 1944, a total of 4,655 Tatanagar units were produced at the Railway workshop in Jamshedpur.[24] In 1945, Tata Motors was established as "Tata Engineering & Locomotive", by purchasing the railway workshop.[19]
Contemporary
A reminiscent of the 1919 Jallianwala Bagh massacre took place near Jamshedpur on 1 January 1948.[25] Over 50,000 people assembled in Kharsawan and protested against the merger of Kharsawan.[25] The Orrisa Military Police opened fire on the crowed, resulting a massacre.[25] Aftermath of the incident, the bodies were disposed of in a well and the jungle, and many injured were left untreated.[25] Official records state 35 deaths, but other sources, like P.K. Deo’s “Memoir of a Bygone Era,” suggest numbers as high as 2,000.[25]
A violent strike occurred in May 1958 by the communist-led union of the Tata Steel.[26] The state government declared the illegal. Within a week, the violence escalated into firing, looting, arson, curfew and movement of federal troops.[26] According to the company, 4 people were killed and 114 people were injured.[26] About 400 people were discharged and 335,000 man-days off work and 45,000 tons of steel production lost before mid-July when the steel plant returned to normal production.[26]
In the mid 1960s, thousands of Hindus escaped anti-Hindu violence in East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) and sought refuge in India, which caused communal tensions in East India.[27][28] The theft of a religious relic, believed to be a hair of Prophet Mohammed in Srinagar caused brutal riots in Jamshedpur.[27][28][29] This led to a chain of protests, resulting deadly riots where 134 people were killed in Calcutta, Rourkela, and Jamshedpur.[27][28] Still, it is believed that the actual death toll was in the thousands.[27] After the riots, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh-affliated groups were finally able to take root in Jamshedpur.[28] Many Muslims living in company quarters were killed, which gave birth to new Muslim neighborhoods in north Jamshedpur.[28]
In April 1979, Jamshedpur experienced a deadly Hindu-Muslim violence influenced by the presence of Hindu and Muslim communal forces.[30] It was the first major riot on the occasion of Ram Navami.[30] 108 peole were killed in the riot, among whom 79 Muslims and 25 Hindus were identified.[30] A notable figure among the victims was Zaki Anwar, a popular secularist.[30]
Legend has it that in the late 1980s when the state government proposed a law to end the Tatas' administration of Jamshedpur and bring the city under a municipality, the local populace rose in protest and defeated the government's proposal.[31] In 2005, a similar proposal was once again put up by lobbying politicians.[32] The target audience was the working class.[33] A large majority sided with the government and set up protest meetings outside the East-Singhbhum Deputy Commissioner's office.[33] However, the objective was never achieved and Jamshedpur remains without a municipality.[33]
On 15 November 2000, Jamshedpur became part of new state called Jharkhand. There are wide roads, shady trees on the roadside, Dimna Dam for drinking water supply near the city, 24-hour uninterrupted electricity supply.[34] Apart from this, many national level institutes like Shavak Nanavati Technical Institute, National Institute of Technology, National Metallurgy Laboratory, MGM Medical College, Al Kabir Polytechnic College are operating here.[34] At present, Tata Steel is the country's largest private steel production company producing 11 million tons of steel.[34] Jamshedpur is the only city in the country whose basic facilities are taken care of by a private company.[34]

The region is formed of sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous rocks belonging to the Dharwarian period.
Jamshedpur is located at the confluence of the Kharkai and Subarnarekha Rivers. Subarnarekha is the principal river of Jamshedpur, which flows from the west to the south-eastern part of the territory. Many small rivers, especially the tributaries, join the Subarnarekha river in this area. The Kharkai flows from the south and joins the Subarnarekha River at a place called Domuhani. The two rivers are the city's major sources of drinking water and groundwater. Several lakes of varying sizes are also located near the city's fringes. The major of them being the Dimna Lake located in between the Dalma range and the Sitarampur reservoir situated beside the Kharkai River. It is also a major tourist spot in the region.[39] Both of them also act as reservoirs for drinking water in the city. The city falls under a deciduous type of forest region and the green cover is estimated to be around 33% of the total land area.[40] The city falls under the Seismic Zone II region.[41] Jamshedpur has many parks around it. Jubilee Park at Sakchi is the largest park in Jamshedpur. It was built by Jamshedji Tata, who was inspired by Vrindavanan Gardens of Mysore.

Jamshedpur's transformation from a rural area to a bustling urban center owes much to the establishment of Tata Iron and Steel Company Limited in 1907. Initially, its population remained modest until the 1921 census recorded a remarkable growth rate of 911.3%, attributed largely to immigration. People from various parts of India, notably Bihar, migrated to Jamshedpur in search of employment opportunities in industries and eventually settled in nearby areas.[55][56] This influx diversified the city's demographics, with significant communities from regions like Bhagalpur, Darbhanga, and Patna contributing to its multicultural character.[57] Moreover, migrants from neighboring cities within Jharkhand, such as Dhanbad, Ranchi, and Bokaro, also flocked to Jamshedpur for job prospects.[58] Alongside local residents, including Muslims and Sikhs, the city also became home to refugees who arrived during the partition of India, residing in designated colonies.[59]

Dhalbhumgarh Airport is a proposed public airport located at Dhalbhumgarh, in the state of Jharkhand, India as a greenfield airport for Jamshedpur. It will be built on the site of an abandoned World War II airfield situated 60 km (37 mi) from Jamshedpur on NH-33. The old airfield was built around 1948, as an ancillary runway for other airfields in the vicinity that were being built around India's eastern frontier as part of the war effort.
It was one of the airfields used by Allied forces to repel the advancing Japanese troops and to maintain transport links with China. As the Japanese forces came to control shipping in the China Sea, seaborne supply routes to China were cut and the difficult 500 km (310 mi) route over the Himalayas was increasingly used. The airfield was abandoned after the war. The technical team of the Airports Authority of India (AAI) conducted a survey in 2017 and approved the Dhalbhumgarh site for a greenfield airport. The government plans to invest Rs 300 crore through AAI for the new airport which will have a three-kilometre (1.9 mi) runway. In January 2018, Union Minister of State for Civil Aviation Jayant Sinha announced that the Union Civil Aviation Ministry and the Jharkhand Government would sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the construction of Dhalbhumgarh Airport.
