दिल्ली का सीलमपुर मुगल-कालीन गांव है, जहाँ आज गुर्जर और मुस्लिम समुदाय के लोगों का बाहुल्य है. स्वतंत्रता आंदोलन में गांव ने अहम भूमिका निभाई थी. यहाँ एक प्राचीन शिव मंदिर और भूमिया खेड़ा देवता का मंदिर है. गाँव में आज भी समाज ने अपनी कई परम्पराएँ जीवित रखी हैं. दैनिक जागरण में प्रकाशित लेख: The history of Seelampur village of Delhi is about 300 years old.
