History
Adityapur is named after Raja Aditya Pratap Singh Deo (1887-1969), the last ruler of Seraikela State. The region around Adityapur is rich in history. Patkum State's capital was at Ichagarh. In Ichagarh there is a cave and a century old temple. The Ichagarh Palace was the seat of Patkum State. It was established by the Scion of King Vikramaditya of Ujjain. This place hosts several historical places on the banks of rivers Karkari and Swarnarekha. By the conquering of Kolhan by the British, a new district—Singhbhum district—was formed which corresponds to the modern Kolhan region. Owing to modern development in the time of British Empire, police stations were opened at Ichagarh, Patamda and Chandil. Previously this place was inhabited mainly by Santhalis, Odias and Bengalis (now Jharkhandis). The area came into prominence with the industrial development of Jamshedpur. Thus many peoples form other parts of India came an made the city's multicultural and cosmopolitan culture. After independence, Adityapur came into existence. In 1972, the Bihar government (now the Jharkhand Government) notified Adityapur as an industrial area and a municipal corporation. Prior to Jharkhand's establishment, the original Jharkhandis were credited for the contribution to the state. Within few times, it developed rapidly as an industrial satellite city for the Jamshedpur metropolitan area. Various new projects are coming here now. Now Adityapur is one of the fastest growing satellite cities in India.
