Before the establishment of the city, it was a village namely Sakchi. And there was also an another village known as Kalimati which was nearer to Sakchi. British started railway line from Kalimati Railway Station. Then during World Wars Jamshedpur was an important place. Because it plays an important role in both the World Wars towards India and other places. Many weapons were manufactured in the city which were useful in the war.

But now city has also grown in automobile, cements, gases, petroleum, oil and information technology etc. Here presence of many companies including native and foreign.

Etymology

In 1919 Lord Chelmsford named the city, which was earlier a village called Sakchi, to Jamshedpur in honour of its founder, Jamsetji 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. On Founders Day, which is 3 March, the 225-acre (0.91 km) Jubilee Park is decorated with brilliant lightwork for about a week. The city has several nicknames, including "Industrial capital of Jharkhand" (spontaneous among native youngsters); "Steel City" (which was referenced during Tata Steel's "Green City—Clean City—Steel City" campaign); "Tatanagar" after the name of its railway station or simply "Tata" in deference to the presence of Tata companies. At one time it was also known as "Kalimati" (meaning "Land of Black soil") after the village near the Sakchi area. Sakchi was renamed to Jamshedpur in 1919. The only trace of the name is the main road through Sakchi area of Jamshedpur which is named Kalimati Road.

History

Creation of City

Before Jamshedpur, the whole Jharkhand was ruled by several empires and dynasties which includes Nagavanshi, Raksel and Chero etc. At the end of the 19th century, Jamsetji Tata met steelmakers 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. Then Maharaja of Mayurbhanj State appointed in his court renowned geologist Shri Pramatha Nath Bose, who had been instrumental in setting up of the steel plant at Sakchi. Bose, on the request of the Maharaja of Mayurbhanj State, surveyed the Gorumahisani hills of Babanghati region of then Mayurbhanja state, and found Hematite deposit there. P. N. Bose insisted Jamsetji Tata choose Sakchi for his dream plant. 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. One day they came across a village called Sakchi (present-day a business district and also a neighbourhood in Jamshedpur), on the densely forested stretches of the Chota Nagpur plateau, near the confluence of the Subarnarekha and Kharkai rivers. It seemed to be the ideal choice and the place was selected. In 1908 the construction of the plant as well as the city officially began. The first steel ingot was rolled on 16 February 1912. It was a momentous day in the history of industrial India. Jamsetji's plan for the city was clear. He envisioned far more than a mere row of workers' hutments. He insisted upon building all the comforts and conveniences a city could provide. As a result, many areas in the city are well planned and there are public leisure places such as the Jubilee Park. While building the city, Jamsetji 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."

— Jamsetji Tata

Messrs Julin Kennedy Sahlin from Pittsburgh prepared the first layout of the town of Jamshedpur. What the city looks like today is a testament to their visionary plans. Jamshedpur is a million-plus city in India with three municipal corporations i.e Jamshedpur Notified area committee, Jugsalai Municipal corporation and Mango Notified area committee.

Modern History

During World War I, Jamshedpur had supplied iron and steel to various countries including China and Egypt which were very useful. They said that "without the steel of India it was impossible". Then after that when World War II began in 1939, the enemies main target was Tata Steel. British took several measures to protect the city. As many weapons were manufactured in Jamshedpur. Later troops decided to stay in Jamshedpur for protecting it. However at that time there was not at all any hotel. Then Boulevard Hotel was build in Jamshedpur in 1940s by the help of Calcutta. Then British and American troops were staying there with 14 - 16 Rs per day for staying. Yellow signals also got from Calcutta. For the preparations, many guns were installed at the outskirts of the city. Later when enemies entered in the city through planes then air balloons was launched to prevent them to attack.

A large majority sided with the government and set up protest meetings outside the East-Singhbhum Deputy Commissioner's office.
