历史
该城市由拉杰普特（Rajputana历史地区的一位战士统治者之一）Rao Jodha于1459年建立，曾是焦特布尔首府的首都。王子王国成立于1212年左右，在统治者Rao Maldeo（1532–69）的统治下达到了顶峰，并在1561年入侵莫卧儿皇帝阿克巴后效忠了莫卧儿王朝。 1679年成为Marwar地区，命令其居民conversion依伊斯兰教。
The princely states of Jodhpur, Jaipur, and Udaipur formed an alliance, however, and prevented control by the Muslims. The Jodhpur and Jaipur princes then regained the privilege of marriage with the Udaipur family—which they had forfeited when they allied with the Mughals—on condition that children of Udaipur princesses be first in succession. Quarrels resulting from that stipulation, however, finally led to the establishment of the supremacy of the Marathas, a Hindu warrior caste.
In 1818 Jodhpur came under British paramountcy. It was the largest princely state in the Rajputana Agency—the British governing entity in the region—occupying much of the central and southwestern portions of what is now Rajasthan state. It joined Rajasthan in 1949.
The contemporary city
Jodhpur is a major regional road and rail junction and a trade centre for agricultural crops, wool, cattle, salt, and hides. An airport handles domestic flights. The city has engineering and railway workshops and manufactures cotton textiles, brass and iron utensils, bicycles, ink, and polo equipment. Jodhpur is famous for its handicraft products, which include ivory goods, glass bangles, cutlery, dyed cloth, lacquerwork, felt and leather products, marble stonework, and carpets. Tourism is an important component of the city’s economy.
Jodhpur, the second largest city of Rajasthan, is the seat of the Rajasthan state high court. The city is the site of an air force college, the University of Jodhpur (established 1962), and a medical college affiliated with the University of Rajasthan in Jaipur (the state capital). Parts of Jodhpur are surrounded by an 18th-century wall. Mehrangarh Fort, which contains the maharaja’s palace and a historical museum, is built on an isolated rock eminence that dominates the city. The 4th-century ruins of Mandor, the ancient capital of Marwar, lie immediately to the north. In addition to the fort, Jodhpur’s other notable buildings include the Umaid Bhawan Palace, the home of the Jodhpur royal family and also a luxury hotel, and the white marble Jaswant Thada, a memorial to the 19th-century ruler Jaswant Singh II.
Jodhpur’s surrounding region is largely agricultural.Bajra (pearl millet), pulses, jowar (grain sorghum), oilseeds, mung (the edible seeds of an Asian bean), and corn (maize) are the chief crops; some cotton and wheat are also produced. Lignite, iron ore, tungsten, garnet, glass-sand, and gypsum deposits are worked. There are several poultry farms, and sheep, cattle, and camels are bred. Pop. (2001) 851,051; (2011) 1,033,756.
