Hathras (Hindi pronunciation: [ɦaːt̪ʰ.ɾəs]) is a historical city in Uttar Pradesh, India. It is the headquarters of Hathras district, formed on 3 May 1997 by merging parts of Aligarh, Mathura and Agra. It is part of the Aligarh Division.[3]

The primary spoken language is a dialect of Hindi, Braj Bhasha, which is closely related to Khariboli, one of several dialects spoken in the Delhi region.[4] It is known for production of asafoetida.[5]

History

[edit]

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.[6] 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.[7]

Hathras became a district on 6 May 1997 with the merging of some talukas of Aligarh and Mathura.[8] 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.
