Origins

The village is located on a land which is slightly higher in altitude than its surroundings, the slope being sharper to the east, the altitude gradually declining for about 5 or 6 kilometres to reach the Gerua river, a tributary to the Ganges. In the west, chaur land is there, which has a lower altitude than the village has. As Gerua flows to the north (to the Ganges, some 6 kilometres away from Tarar), the land to the north of the village is relatively a low land. Tarar has never evidenced an incidence of flood. There was a Hindi poem titled “Hey Tarar” (that appeared in the Tarar High School Magazine in the 1960s) written by Shri Moti Singh (alias Mathilisharan Nehnidhi), who was a teacher in Tarar High School, which mentioned that the name “Tarar” came from “Tānd”, which means an upland. Since an upland was occupied by the people to inhabit, it was named Tāndar wherefrom the name Tarar came forth (“ ... Tānd bhūmi ābād huyi. Tārar iskā nām pad gayā paribhāsā yun yād huyi”. It is believed that Tarar was settled as a village towards the end of the 18th century, just after the introduction of Zamindari system by the British government.[ citation needed ]
