Origin

Naya Gaon near Chandigarh was founded in Circa 1783 as a small settlement by the battle fatigued Sikh soldiers on the way to Sri Anandpur Sahib while coming from Delhi after the conquest of Delhi Sultanate by the Sikhs, as a large section of the Sikh forces had decided to celebrate 'Hola Mahala' at Anandpur Saheb. The first settlers on this land were the 'Dhillon' followed by the 'Sidhu','Nagra' and 'Mavi' Jatts and then the Brahmins. Other working classes were subsequently brought in by the initial settlers to help in their work. Naya Gaon remained a part of Manimajra Riasat till the independence of India. Then remained a part of District Ambala of joint Punjab. Large amounts of land belonging to Naya Gaon was acquired by the Govt. for the Chandigarh project. After the division of Punjab in 1965 it became a part of Ropar District. In the year 2006 a new district S.A.S. Nagar (Mohali) was formed and Naya Gaon became a part of Mohali district. In the 1980s people from all parts of northern India started settling in Naya Gaon due to affordable housing as compared to Chandigarh. Today it has become a conglomerate of people from states of Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Uttarakhand, U.P., Bihar, Bengal and North Eastern States.
