History
Mughalsarai is located along the Grand Trunk Road (NH 19), also called Sadak-e-Azam by Sher Shah Suri, was one of the corridors connecting North India with the east during the Mughal period. In past centuries, it has been variously known as Mughalchak, Mangalpur and Oven Nagar. The township was named Mughalsarai when Indian railways established a junction here in 1883.
In August 2018, the city was renamed as Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Nagar, after Deendayal Upadhyaya, a politician and leader of the Bharatiya Jana Sangh.
