The name of the town was originally Sharafabad. It was given in jagir to Bahadur Khan and Taj Muhammad, Baloch chiefs of Farrukhnagar, in 1754, and its name changed to Bahadur- garh. The jagir was resumed in 1793 by Sindhia, and in 1803 the town and the surrounding villages were bestowed by Lord Lake on Ismail Khan, brother of the Nawab of Jhajjar. The estate was con- fiscated in 1857, owing to the disloyalty of the chief, Bahadur Jang. The municipality was created in 1873.
