Embrace the rich history of Ghaziuddinnagar, a city founded in 1740 by the visionary leader, Vizir Ghazi-ud-din. He named it after himself and constructed an impressive sarai with 120 spacious rooms adorned with elegant pointed arches. Although the city has undergone changes over the years, remnants of its glorious past remain, including the magnificent gate, fragments of the boundary wall, and a mighty fourteen-foot pillar. The city became witness to a significant event in Indian history when the valiant freedom fighters clashed with a small British force in May 1857 near Hindon River. Despite their defeat, their spirit of resistance continued to inspire generations. Ghaziabad, formerly a Tehsil of District Meerut, attained district status on 14th November 1976, coinciding with the birth anniversary of the esteemed leader Pt. Jawahar Lal Nehru. Since then, Ghaziabad has made incredible progress in various aspects, including social development, economic growth, and advancement in agriculture. Situated on the Grand Trunk Road, just a mile east of Hindon River, Ghaziabad is perfectly positioned, 19 km east of Delhi and 46 km southwest of Meerut, connecting these cities with a well-connected metalled road.
