In the Tretha Yug, Durg was well known as Shivadurga of the ‘Dakshin Kaushal’ Province. In the Hindu Granth ‘Ramayana’, Maharaja Dasharatha Of Uttar Kaushal married Kaushalya, the daughter of Maharaja Kaushal. The District Durg was included in Ashoka’s Empire. However, the first exact reference regarding the word “Durg” comes around the 8th century A.D. through two stone inscriptions, which are deposited in the Raipur Museum.
The first inscription mentions the name of Maharaja Shiva Deva. The second inscription associates the name of Sivapura with that of Maharaja Shiva Durga, indicating thereby that during Maharaja Shivadeva’s reign, the town and the fort were separate. The present name “Durg” is a contraction of the old Shivadurga, which he built.
The river on whose banks stands the present town is also called the “Shivnath River”. With the coming of the Kalachuri dynasty of Tripuri in A.D. 1182, Durg came under their Maharajadom. From then on, it remained under the Kalachuries until 1742 A.D. when the Marathas deposed them. In 1877, after the Marathas lost the Third Anglo-Maratha War, the tract of Chhattisgarh passed into British hands. Caption Edmonds was the First British Officer posted in Chhattisgarh as Collector and Magistrate to carry on the administration.
For Administration, Durg was attached to Bhandara District (now in Maharashtra) but in 1857 it was separated and made into a tehsil of Raipur district to which it remained attached till 1906. In 1906, Durg was created as a separate district. The Collectorate building was built in the year 1907.
Interestingly, cement was not used in the construction of the collectorate building; instead, a mixture of limestone, gum, sand, and fruit pulp was used as the binding agent. Today, even though 100 years have gone by, the collectorate building stands strong as if it might have been built yesterday.
Soon after, 350 acres (140 ha) of land from Kasaridih Village were acquired by the government to build official residences. It is on this land that we find today’s Civil Lines, Pt. Ravishankar Shukla Stadium, Chaupati, Rajendra Park, New Bus Stand, Municipal Corporation Office, Polytechnic College, and Surana Law College.
