History of village:-This is an ancient village. The village was founded near a big pond. According to M.K Azad the village was founded earlier than 1500 AD as the Kayamkhani records reveal that Nawab Asal Khan had handed over the Jagir of Dhankoli to his brother in period 1500-25. (M.K Azad p.34)
In ancient times this village served as a camping place for caravans carrying goods from Bikaner and Shekhawati. Kuchaman was the next camp after Dhankoli. The goods included daily use items like food grains, sugar, gur, oils, misri, hirmach, paliabhata, namak, clothes etc.
