History
Pataudi town which later became the capital of Pataudi State was founded in 13th-century, the time of Jalaluddin Khilji, Sultan of Delhi (r. 1290 – 1296 CE), by a Mewati named Pata, from whom the town derives its name.The small princely state Pataudi State was formed in 1804 by East India Company with 40 villages including Pataudi village (as it was then) as reward to Faiz Talab Khan a Pashtun of the Barech tribe for aiding the Company against the Maratha Empire during the Second Anglo-Maratha War and the English made Faiz Talab Khan Nawab of Pataudi. By 1901, it has a population of 4171. It was subsumed into Union of India in 1947.
Mansoor Ali Khan son of the former nawab was former captain of India cricket team. His residence was converted into a hotel but bought back by his actor son later.
Nearby Akbar Manzil, built after 1857 as the official residence of the then Nawab, was later converted into a kachehri (judicial complex), and is now used as a godown (store).
