Solan district is divided into four Sub-divisions comprising of Solan and Kasauli tehsils. The history of Solan District goes back to the era of Pandavas in Mahabharata Era. According to the Hindu mythology, Pandavas lived here during their exile. In 1815, The British East India Company won Baghat state which is now called Solan from the Gurkhas. The Gurkha fort or Arki Fort is still standing tall on a mountain near to Solan city and it is one of the popular historic tourist attractions of Solan. The town has been a capital of the princely Baghat State.
