==History==
[[File:Duncan MacLaren Young Sommerville 1.jpg|thumb|[[Duncan Sommerville]]|225x225px|left|alt=]]
Beawar was founded by Colonel George Dickson (1795-1857) in 1836. Beawar was part of [[Presidencies and provinces of British India|India]] and the administrative headquarters of the Merwara district. Since the ancient days, the region where Beawar lies is known as Magra-Merwaran, and it was named after a local village called "Beawar Khas" by the Rajasthani. This region was ruled by fierce tribes{{refn|group=note|Rajput people used to refer to them as tribes rather than castes.}}{{cn|date=October 2020}} such as the Chauhan Rajput (descendants of Prithviraj Chauhan). The British tried to subdue them but were unsuccessful because the people were scattered across many small villages.{{cn|date=October 2020}} Moreover, the Chauhan ruled through Shyamgarh Fort and were excellent in conducting war. The Battle of Shyamgarh was fought between the Chauhan Rajputs and the British.{{when|date=October 2020}} The British won and Chauhans abandoned the fort of Shyamgarh, but employed guerrilla tactics causing great loss to the British.{{cn|date=October 2020}} Consequently, the British founded a military cantonment with fortified walls for protection and engaged in further military missions. Another factor in building the cantonment here was Beawar's location at the strategic tri-junction of the royal states of [[Jaipur]], [[Jodhpur]], and [[Udaipur]] and near to the royal state of [[Ajmer]]. Beawar the name of the city comes from the name "Be Aware" which was originally a sign given to the city by a British Emperor.{{cn|date=October 2020}} Chauhan Rajput, the great warriors known for their courage, were a major problem to the British Empire, so they decided to form a cantonment and hence Beawar as Nayashahar came into existence.{{Inline unclear|date=October 2020}}

Beawar is the birthplace of classical mathematician [[Duncan Sommerville]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://articles.adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-iarticle_query?db_key=AST&bibcode=1935MNRAS..95..330.&letter=.&classic=YES&defaultprint=YES&whole_paper=NO&page=330&epage=331&send=Send+PDF&filetype=.pdf|title=Obituary|publisher=[[Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society]] Vol. 95, pp. 330–331|access-date=13 April 2020}}</ref>
