Origin of name
The district is named after Mahendragarh town, which was previously known as Kanaud. The previous name was derived from the king of Kanaud.
Medieval rule
During the rule of Mughals, Babur assigned the area to Malik Mahdud Khan. However, later it was taken over by Patiala Riyasat. Birbal ka Chatta is very famous in Narnaul. People say the cave ends in Gurugram. Jal Mahal and Chor Guband were also made during Mughal rule.
Mahendragarh Fort
There is a fort at Mahendragarh which was built by the Maratha ruler Tantia Tope during the 19th century. This fort was named Mahendragarh in 1861 by Narendra Singh, the ruler of Patiala, in honour of his son, Mahendra Singh, and consequently the town came to be known as Mahendragarh. The name of Narnaul Nizamat was changed to "Mahendragarh Nizamat." Another nearby fort is Madhogarh Fort on the top of the hill near Madhogarh village.
Both Mahendragarh's fort and Madhogarh's fort are being restored along the lines of Pinjore Gardens to develop them as an international tourist destination as part of the Rewari-Narnaul-Mahendragarh-Madhogarh tourist circuit.[3]

It became a part of Patiala and East Punjab States Union (PEPSU) state.
