History

Dhanbad Municipal Corporation was formed in 2006 by combining erstwhile Dhanbad municipality, Jharia notified area, Sindri notified area, Katras notified area, Chattandih notified area, 27 census towns and 258 villages. It covered an area of 355.77 km² with a population of 1,333,719 (2001 census).[1]

During the British period, Dhanbad was a subdivision of Manbhum district. Bagsuma, located 4 miles east of Gobindpur, was the first headquarter of the subdivision. The headquarter was later shifted to Gobindpur and finally to Hirapur mouza in Dhanbad in 1908. Dhanbad was constituted as a separate district in 1956 by carving it out of Manbhum district.[2][3]
