Dhanbad Sadar subdivision is an administrative subdivision of the Dhanbad district in the state of Jharkhand, India.
History
[edit]The earliest administrative mention of Dhanbad, refers to the transfer of the headquarters of Gobindapur subdivision of erstwhile Manbhum District to Dhanbaid (as it was then known) in the closing years of the 16th century.[1] Dhanbad district was created in 1956 by carving out the old Dhanbad subdivision and Chas and Chandankiyari police station areas of the Sadar subdivision of Manbhum district, on the recommendations of the States Reorganisation Commission. Initially, the district was split into two subdivisions – Sadar and Baghmara. In 2001, Bokaro district was formed with certain areas of Dhanbad district, which formed Chas subdivision, and Bermo subdivision of Giridih district.[2]
