Najibabad was founded in 1751 by Najib-ud-Daula, a Rohilla chief who served the Mughal and Durrani empires and governed Saharanpur, then including Dehradun, from 1757 to 1770.[10]
The district lists Najib-ud-Daula's 18th-century fort among its sights. Known as Patthargarh or Najibabad Fort, it is called Sultana Daku ka Qila; his tomb and the Jama Masjid he built also stand in the town.[2],[1],[10]
The district says Najibabad is popularly called the Gateway of the Himalayas and puts it about 37 km from Bijnor. The town has its own nagar palika parishad.[4],[1]
Najibabad and Dhampur are the district's main railway stations after Bijnor, and Shakarpuri, on the Najibabad–Bijnor highway, is known for its mangoes and sugarcane.[5],[2]
