- "Bareilly (/bəˈrɛli/ (listen)) is a city in Bareilly district in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. It is the centre of Bareilly division and the geographical region of Rohilkhand. The city is 252 kilometres (157 mi) north west of the state capital, Lucknow, and 250 kilometres (155 mi) east of the national capital, New Delhi. With a population of 898,167 in 2011, it is the eighth most populous city in the state, seventeenth in Northern India and fifty-fourth in India. It is located on the Ramganga River and is the site of the Ramganga Barrage built for canal irrigation.
Bareilly was founded in 1537 by Jagat Singh Katehriya who named it ´Bans-Bareli´ after his two sons Bansaldev and Baraldev. The town came under the rule of Mughals in 1569 and had become the seat of a local pargana by 1596. The foundation of the modern city of Bareilly was laid by Mughal governor Mukrand Rai in 1657, and in 1658, it became the headquarters of the province of Budaun. The weakening of Mughal Empire lead to the rise of the Kingdom of Rohilkhand, of which Bareilly was a major centre. The city came under the control of Oudh State in 1774 after the fall of Rohillas in the First Rohilla War and was then ceded to the British East India Company by the Nawab of Oudh in 1801. A Military station was established in 1811 to the south of the city, where a fort was constructed in 1816. Bareilly was freed by the rebels during the Indian Rebellion of 1857 and remained independent under the rule of Khan Bahadur Khan until it was re-annexed by the British in 1858." - (en.wikipedia.org 10.08.2021) - Latitude
