Narnaul is a town with long history. There's been a mention of Narnaul in ancient texts as well,however not much of ancient history has been documented. In the beginning, the town was controlled by Jogis. Till the conquest ofMohammedan, Rathor Rajputs ruled the town and the adjoining areas.Buses depart from the main bus interchange junction in Narnaul to these and other cities of Haryana & Rajasthan.

Narnaul dates back to the Mahabharata era as Nar Rashtra according to legend. Another legend puts it to be about 900 years old where lions roamed free in the jungles surrounding the town. These lions gave the town the name Naharnaul (Fear of Lions). According to yet another legend, Raja Launkaran named it Narlaun after his wife.
