=={{anchor|Buria Fort}}History==
'''Buri Fort''', there is a fort in Buria, with ''Rang Mahal'' (pleasure palace) used by [[Hamayun]] when he came here for hunting in Shivalik forests, whereas some relate this Rang Mahal to [[Birbal]], court advisor to the Mughal emperor [[Akbar]].<ref name=sadh2>[http://haryanajobalert.com/Admin/Upload/YJQMLC7Wyamunanagar.pdf Yamunanagar History], Gazatteer of Haryana: Yamunanagar.</ref> The presence of Birbal Dwar (Birbal Gate) in the village indicates relation to [[Birbal]].

During the [[British Raj]], Buria was captured by the Sikhs in 1760, and became the headquarters of a Jat principality, which before the [[Treaty of Amritsar (1809)]] between the British and [[Ranjit Singh|Maharaja Ranjit singh]] had been divided into two chiefships of Buria and Dialgarh. Contention between the widows of the last male holder of Dialgarh led to its subdivision into the estates of Jagadhri and Dialgarh which after few years came under British protection. Jagadhri jagir lapsed in 1829 and came under direct British control. The Rani of Dialgarh was one of the nine chiefs who were retained as independent protected chiefs. She retained her position until her death in 1852, after which jagir of Dialgarh also lapsed and it came under direct British rule. Buria proper was also reduced to the status of an ordinary [[jagir]] in 1849.<ref name=sadh2/>

Other attractions include the medieval ''"Pataleshwar Mahadev Shiv Mandir"'',<ref name=sadh2/> the ''"Sanatan Dharam Hanuman Mandir"'' and a Gurudwara (Sikh temple) in remembrance of the ninth Sikh Guru [[Tegh Bahadur]].
