Hazaribagh is a city and a municipal corporation in Hazaribagh district, Jharkhand, India. It is the administrative headquarters of Hazaribagh district and divisional headquarters of North Chotanagpur division. The city is known as a health resort and for the Hazaribagh Wildlife Sanctuary.
==Etymology== The name of the town 'Hazaribagh' (हज़ारीबाग़) is derived from two Persian words: Hazar (هزار) meaning 'one thousand' and bagh (باغ) meaning 'garden', hence the meaning of Hazaribagh is 'city of a thousand gardens'. According to Sir John Houlton, however, the town takes its name from the small villages of Okni and Hazari – shown on old maps as Ocunhazry.
