Etymology
[
edit
]
In 1919
Lord Chelmsford
renamed the city,
[16]
which was originally
Sakchi
, to Jamshedpur in honour of its founder,
Jamshedji Nusserwanji Tata
. Tata had written to his son
Dorabji Tata
about his vision of a great city in the area. On Founders Day (3 March), the 225-acre (0.91 km
2
)
Jubilee Park
[17]
is decorated with brilliant lightwork for about a week.
[18]
History
[
edit
]
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 for a steel plant. One day they came across
Sakchi
(present-day a business district), 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.
[19]
In 1908, the construction of the plant as well as the city officially began.
[19]
The first steel ingot was rolled on 16 February 1912. It was a momentous day in the history of industrial India.
[20]
In 1919, the
industrial neighborhood
was renamed to Jamshedpur according to
Jamsetji Tata
, the founder of the industrial establishment.
[21]
Jamsetji Tata'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, 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."
Messrs Julin Kennedy Sahlin from
Pittsburgh
prepared the first layout of the town of Jamshedpur.
[22]
Jamshedpur is a million-plus city with three municipal corporations, Jamshedpur Notified area committee, Jugsalai Municipal corporation and Mango Notified area committee.
[23]
In 1945,
Tata Motors
was set up here. It is now the second largest industry in Jamshedpur. A municipal corporation was proposed in 2005 but after protests from the residents this did not happen.

According to the 2011
census
of India, the city of Jamshedpur had a population of 629,659,
[4]
but the Jamshedpur Urban Agglomeration had a population of 1,337,131.
[3]
The city is designated as a Million Plus Urban Agglomeration as per Government terminology.
[43]

[45]
Jamshedpur's transformation from a rural area to a bustling urban center owes much to the establishment of
Tata Iron and Steel Company Limited
in 1907. Initially, its population remained modest until the 1921 census recorded a remarkable growth rate of 911.3%, attributed largely to immigration. People from various parts of India, notably Bihar, migrated to Jamshedpur in search of employment opportunities in industries and eventually settled in nearby areas.
[46]
[47]
This influx diversified the city's demographics, with significant communities from regions like Bhagalpur, Darbhanga, and Patna contributing to its multicultural character.
[48]
Moreover, migrants from neighboring cities within Jharkhand, such as Dhanbad, Ranchi, and Bokaro, also flocked to Jamshedpur for job prospects.
[49]
Alongside local residents, including Muslims and Sikhs, the city also became home to
refugees
who arrived during the
partition of India
, residing in designated colonies.
[50]
The
1974 Indian smallpox epidemic
was partially traced to
economic migrants
returning from Jamshedpur. With funding from
J. R. D. Tata
, the
World Health Organization
quarantined the city's unvaccinated population, successfully limiting further spread.

[87]
Dhalbhumgarh Airport
is a proposed public airport located at
Dhalbhumgarh
, in the state of
Jharkhand
, India as a
greenfield airport
for Jamshedpur. It will be built on the site of an abandoned World War II airfield situated 60 km (37 mi) from Jamshedpur on NH-33. The old airfield was built around 1942, as an ancillary runway for other airfields in the vicinity that were being built around India's eastern frontier as part of the war effort.
It was one of the airfields used by Allied forces to repel the advancing Japanese troops and to maintain transport links with China. As the Japanese forces came to control shipping in the China Sea, seaborne supply routes to China were cut and the difficult 500 km (310 mi) route over the Himalayas was increasingly used. The airfield was abandoned after the war. The technical team of the
Airports Authority of India
(AAI) conducted a survey in 2017 and approved the Dhalbhumgarh site for a greenfield airport. The government plans to invest Rs 300 crore through AAI for the new airport which will have a three-kilometre (1.9 mi) runway. In January 2018, Union Minister of State for Civil Aviation
Jayant Sinha
announced that the Union Civil Aviation Ministry and the Jharkhand Government would sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the construction of Dhalbhumgarh Airport.
