Jahazgarh is a small town located about 15 km from Jhajjar, in Haryana.
It was founded by an Irish adventurer, named George Thomas and built a
fort here known as Georgegarh which was later changed to Jahazgarh. The
annual cattle fair celebrated here is a major draw attended by buyers
and sellers from all over Haryana and out side.
George Thomas left irrevocable effect on the pages of history. Born in a simple family in Ireland, he was an extremely courageous person . He came to India in a mercantile marine in about 1780 and cane in to contact with Scindia feudal lord Appa Kandi Rao who adopted him as his son impressed by his bravely. In the due course of time, Appa Kandi Rao offered the area of Jhajjar, Beri,Mandothi, Patoda to George Thomas. George Thomas made Jhajjar his headquarter and in view of security constructed a fort at some distance and named it Georgy garh (modern Jahazgarh). Feeling happy at his military services, Marathas offered the area of Panipat, Sonepat and Karnal to him. Intoxicated with the increasing power, he declared himself independent of Scindias. With the aim to establish his independent rule in the whole Haryana ,he changed his capital from Jhajjar to Hansi, Having seen the increasing force of George Thomas,Sindhia asked General Paron who was the governor of Ganga Doab, to attack on George Thomas. George could not bear it, at last left his rule and went towards Calcutta in 1801.

Note: Rani of Jhansi by Prince Michael of Greece a great read. Prince Michael had to give up his claim to the throne (willingly done so by him)when he married a "commoner".
