      Dehradun itself derives its name from the historical fact that Ram Rai , the eldest son of the Seventh Sikh Guru Har Rai , set up his "Dera" camp in "dun" valley in 1676. This 'Dera Dun' later on became Dehradun.

      The Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb was highly impressed by the miraculous powers of charismatic Ram Rai. He asked the contemporary Maharaja of Garhwal , Fateh Shah , to extend all possible help to Ram Rai. Initially , a Gurudwara temple was built in Dhamawala. The construction of the present building of Darbar Shri Guru Ram Rai Ji Maharaj was completed in 1707. There are portraits of gods , goddesses , saints , sages , and religious stories on the walls. There are pictures of flowers and leaves , animals and birds , trees , similar faces with pointed noses , and big eyes on the arches which are the symbol of the color scheme of Kangra-Guler art and Mughal art. High minarets and round pinnacles are the models of Muslim architecture. The huge pond in the front measuring 230 x 80 feet had dried up for want of water over the years. People had been dumping rubbish; it has been renovated and revived. Dehradun was invaded by Mahmud of Ghazni during his campaigns into India followed by Timur in 1368 , Rohilla chief Najib ad-Dawlah in 1757 , and Ghulam Qadir in 1785. In 1806 Nepalese King Prithvi Narayan Shah united many of the Indian territories that now fell under places such as Almora , Pathankot , Kumaon , Garhwal , Sirmur , Shimla , Kangra , and Dehradun. On the western front , Garhwal and parts of Himachal Pradesh up to Punjab and the eastern front the state of Sikkim" title="Sikkim">Sikkim up to Darjeeling became parts of Nepal for a brief period until the British East India Company went on the war from 1814 to 1816. The war ended with the signing of the Treaty of Sugowliwhere almost a third was ceded to British East India company. The British got Dehradun in 1816 and colonized Landour and Mussoorie in 1827–1828. Capt John War memorial maintained by the army at DehradunJawaharlal Nehru , India's first prime minister , was quite fond of the city and often visited. He spent his last few days here before passing away in Delhi in 1964.14 Another leader from the independence movement , Rash Behari Bose , who was one of the key organizers of the Ghadar conspiracy and , later , the Indian National Army was based in Dehradun in his early days before he was forced to move to Japan in 1915 to continue the freedom struggle.
