The modern industrial city of Jamshedpur was built over the village of [[Sakchi]] by [[Dorabji Tata]], who chose the location for his father [[Jamshedji Tata]]'s planned steel city. The project began in 1908, with the steel plant operating by 1912, and the city was formally named Jamshedpur by [[Lord Chelmsford]] in 1919 in honor of Jamshedji. During [[World War I]], [[Tata Steel]] supplied for British military campaigns across the [[Middle East]] and [[Africa]]. In [[World War II]], Jamshedpur was a high-value target. This led to the deployment of British and American troops in the region, establishment of air bases to [[Pacific War|repel]] potential [[Japan during World War II|Japanese attacks]], maintain links with [[mainland China]] via the [[Burma Road]] and participate in the U.S-led [[Operation Matterhorn|bombing campaign in Japan]]. The city's history is embedded with frequent labor unrest and strikes, visits by well-known figures and independence movement.

Following the [[independence of India]] in 1947, Jamshedpur became part of the [[States and union territories of India|state]] of [[Bihar]]. The city experienced spells of growth and development alongside on occasions of unrest, violence and terrorism. Jamshedpur experienced deadly communal violence in [[1964 East Pakistan riots|1964]] and [[Ram Navami riots|1979]], affecting the city directly and [[Sikh insurgency|spillover]] of the [[1984 anti-Sikh riots]]. By the 1990s, organized crime increased, and mafia activities emerged in northern Jamshedpur, with notable gang wars and the assassination of well-known figures in political and business circles. The intensity of crime nearly brought about the collapse of industries in Jamshedpur. The state government intervened. Between 1994 and 1996, the city police under [[Ajoy Kumar]], launched a crackdown on gangs, which led to a decline in crime. Subsequently, Jamshedpur was an important stronghold for the statehood movement. Thus on 15 November 2000, the city became part of the state of Jharkhand.

A major commercial and industrial centre in India, Jamshedpur is demographically diverse city. It has been ranked consistently as one of the cleanest cities in India by [[Swachh Survekshan|Swach Survekshan]], 2nd in India in terms of quality of life. Jamshedpur is one of the fastest-growing global cities in the world and first smart cities in India along with [[Naya Raipur]]. It is a local popular tourist destination known for its forests and ancient temples. Jamshedpur is the only million plus city in India without a municipal corporation.

== Etymology ==
In 1919 [[Frederic Thesiger, 1st Viscount Chelmsford|Lord Chelmsford]] named the city, which was previously a village called [[Sakchi]], Jamshedpur in honour of its founder, [[Jamshedji Tata|Jamshedji Nausserwanji Tata]], whose birthday is celebrated on 3 March as Founder's Day. J.N. Tata had written to his son Dorabji Tata about his vision of a great city in the area.<ref>{{cite book |last=Dutta |first=Maya |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ecJOAQAAIAAJ&q=jamshedpur |title=Jamshedpur: the growth of the city and its regions |publisher=Asiatic Society |year=1977}}</ref> On Founders Day, the 225-acre (0.91&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup>) [[Jubilee Park, Jamshedpur|Jubilee Park]] is decorated with brilliant lightwork for about a week.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Maji |first=Bivu |date=18 March 2021 |title=Jubilee Park (जुबली पार्क), Jamshedpur |url=https://welcometojamshedpur.in/jubilee-park-jamshedpur/ |access-date=3 February 2023 |website=Welcome to Jamshedpur}}</ref>

The city has several nicknames including "Steel City" (which was referenced during TATA Steel's "Green City—Clean City—Steel City" campaign); "Tatanagar" after the name of its railway station [[Tatanagar Railway Station]] or simply "Tata" in deference to the presence of [[Tata Group|Tata]] companies.<ref name="Bhatia 2004">{{cite web |last1=Bhatia |first1=Parvinder |date=3 December 2004 |title=Tata draws growth map |url=https://www.telegraphindia.com/1041203/asp/jharkhand/story_4078479.asp |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170821125526/https://www.telegraphindia.com/1041203/asp/jharkhand/story_4078479.asp |archive-date=21 August 2017 |work=The Telegraph |location=India}}</ref> At one time it was also known as "Kalimati" (meaning "Land of Goddess Kali") after the village near the Sakchi area.<ref name="Bhatia 2004" /> Sakchi was merged into Jamshedpur as a neighbourhood in 1919.<ref name="Bhatia 2004" /> The only trace of the name is the main road through Sakchi area of Jamshedpur which is named Kalimati Road.<ref name="Bhatia 2004" />

Jamshedpur's transformation from a rural area to a bustling urban centre 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 migrated to Jamshedpur in search of opportunities due to industries and eventually settled in nearby areas.<ref>{{Cite web |date=10 June 2020 |title=Jharkhand's first round of mapping shows 70% of migrant workers are skilled |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/jharkhand-s-first-round-of-mapping-shows-70-of-migrant-workers-are-skilled/story-t2IXHB0cOBwTZh4m3XLf2N.html |access-date=19 January 2021 |website=Hindustan Times}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last1=Agarwal |first1=N.

[[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 {{cvt|60|km}} from Jamshedpur on NH-33. The old airfield was built around 1948, 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 {{cvt|500|km|adj=on}} 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 {{convert|3|km|spell=in|adj=on}} 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.
