On historical point of view, we are not aware of the history of the village that when the village was built and who built? The date of establishment and information about founders of the village are unclear, however some evidence and historical accounts indicates that this area became settled in the 'Rajput princely era' about 1100-1150 AD. According to some local evidence and peoples sayings that there was a water pond on the site way before the village was founded. The pond is known as Piparni Nadi or Pipaly Nadi and is regularly replenished with rainwater, so it became a resting point on the this route that was connected two principary Shekhawati and Marwar. Evidence shows that when traders, the army, 'banjare' or others persons traveled from this way, it means they always crossed the borders of two principary states Marwar and Shekhawati. They rested and took shelter here because they always found sweet and clean water for drinking for themselves and their animals, so it soon became called Meethari. This was also the entrance palace to Marwar state, so people started to call it Meethari Marwar[5]
