History
Near the end of the 18th century, the town of Hathras was held by a Thenua Jat chief, Raja Dayaram Singh, who constructed the Hathras Fort at the east end of the town. In 1817, the British besieged the fort, ultimately annexing the territory. Under British rule, Hathras rapidly rose to commercial importance, and for a while ranked second to Cawnpore (now Kanpur) among the trading centres of the Doab.
Hathras became a district on 6 May 1997 with the merging of some tehsils of Aligarh and Mathura. Hathras falls under the Braj region of Northern India and is famous for its industrial, literary, and cultural activities. It has been an industrial centre since the British ruled India.
