Ajmer district derives its name from the head quarter town of Ajmer. Before independence, Ajmer Merwara was an isolated province of British India in Rajputana. It comprised of two districts, viz Ajmer and Merwara. The Sanskrit word MERU (hill) was a component part of the names of both districts. In Ajmer, it was combined with the name of Raja Aja; the traditional founder of the city and the fort (Taragarh). The Chauhans dominated Ajmer for many years and it was only towards the end of the 12th century that Prithviraj was killed and Ajmer was conquered by Muhammad of Ghor, founder of the Delhi Sultanate, in 1193. That Changed the history of this region totally. The Importance of Ajmer diminished with the death of its most valiant ruler and Ajmer passed under the Delhi Sultanate. Later the Descendant of this clan established the Chauhan Clan of Ranthambore in 1194. The internal government of Ajmer, however, was handed over to the Chauhan rulers upon the payment of a heavy tribute to the conquerors.
Then ancient name of the city was Ajaymeru with later become Ajmer through colloquial corruption Ajmer remained under the central government as a part with (centrally administered) state till October 31, 1956 where after it was merged with Rajasthan according to the recommendation of the state reorganization commission.
