Jalalpur Jattan () is a small city and municipality of the District Gujrat in the province of Punjab, Pakistan about 20 km distance from Kashmir.〔(Tehsils & Unions in the District of Gujrat - Government of Pakistan )〕 == History == When Alexander the Great defeated King Porus,〔http://www.encyclopedia.com/topic/Alexander_the_Great.aspx〕 he established two towns one near Jehlum river and another near Chenab river. The latter, present day Jalalpur Jattan was named ''Shaklanagar'' an amalgamation of Greek and Sanskrit words meaning the city of beauty.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History of Jalalpur Jattan )〕 These cities were settled by people from his multinational armies, which included a majority of Greeks. These Indo-Greek cities and their associated realms thrived long after Alexander's departure. Later, Jalal ud din Firuz Khilji and his forces stayed here to suppress the invasion of Mongols and he renamed the city to Jalalabad after his name. The name was once again changed to Jalalpur Jattan by the notable Jatts of their time said to be Zabardast Khan and Ajmer Khan.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=جلالپور جٹاں کی تاریخ )〕 During Sikh Empire, the town gained significant importance. There is a place in Jalalpur Jattan built by Chandragupta Maurya in 300 BC.〔 Local historians believe that Chandragupta had built a fort in Islam Garh, a suburban village of Jalalpur Jattan. The original name of the village could not be ascertained but the fort became famous as Islam Garh Fort with the passage of time. The fort of Islam Garh had remained under Aurangzeb Alamgir, Ahmed Shah Abdali, and Ranjit Singh and their forces.〔 The fort had been the mint of Maharaja Ranjit Singh of Lahore in 1832. Only some deteriorated remains of the fort exists today. There is also an ancient city within the territories of the city, now a town known as Kula Chor. Excavations in the area revealed that Kula Chor was the mint of the Maurya Dynasty.〔(Historical sites in Gujrat crumbling - Daily Times Pakistan )〕 In 1908, Jalalpur Jattan was made a municipality or municipal committee, the fully representative body.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Gujrat reverts to municipal committee status )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Gujrat may get municipal corporation status )〕 The city was granted tehsil status in February 2015.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tehsil status sought for Jalalpur Jattan )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jalalpur Jattan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
