History[]

Originally the residents of New Theed were living in the area called Theed (nowadays, Royal Springs Golf Course, Srinagar), but during the early 1940s, they were forcibly relocated by the Maharaja Hari Singh to this place now called New Theed. Most of the residents of Old Theed took up residence in the New Theed while some others settled at Zithyar Nishat, Brein, Guptaganga, Khunmoh and Pampore.

Those who settled at New Theed grew the new settlement into a township. The town now hosts orchards and agricultural lands growing rice, mustard and vegetables.
