The study of Head Tail (HT) radio galaxies track the information of associated galaxy clusters. With the help of the VLA FIRST survey at 1.4 GHz, we detected 607 new HT radio sources, among them, 398 are Wide Angle Tail (WAT) and 216 are Narrow-Angle Tail (NAT) sources. NAT sources generally have `V shaped structure with an opening angle less than ninety degrees and for WAT sources opening angle between the jets is more than ninety degrees. We found that almost 80 per cent of our sources are associated with a known galaxy cluster. We mentioned various useful physical properties of these HT sources. Taking advantage of a large sample of newly discovered HT sources, various statistical studies have been done. The luminosity range of sources presented in the current paper is $10^{39}$ $leq$ $L_{1.4GHz}$ $leq$ $10^{43}$ erg sec$^{-1}$. We identified optical counterparts for 193 WAT and 104 NAT sources. The sources are found up to redshift 2.08.
