Rohtak forms part of the National Capital Region.

It is believed  that the city's name is of Indo-Aryan origin and is recorded in the Vedas. It was founded by the Jats, and was named Rohtashgarh.  It is also suggested that the name may have derived from the tree Rohitaka as well, a tree well known in the area for its superb timber.

A very old and antique heritage has been preserved in Rohtak. Baba Mast Nath Math, Gokaran, kiloi temple, and several more like fine looking buildings erected in traditional Indian and Mughal styles such as spacious havelis with ornate facade, finely carved wooden door sets and sand stone pillars, mosques that were once lavishly decorated in stucco work, dharamshalas with fine looking statues of Radha and Krishna and temple spires and are few of them.
