Hathras, was a town of British India, in the Aligarh district of the United Provinces. No documentary proof is available for when this town was built and who populated it. The Kushan, The Gupta , The Rajput and The Maratha Rulers Ruled over the Region. In 1716 A.D. nearby Jaat Ruler Raja Nandram’s son Bhoj Singh had taken over the rule of Hathras from the Rajput rulers.

After Bhoj Singh his son Sadan Singh became the ruler of Hathras followed by his son Bhoori Singh. It is believed that during the reign of Bhoori Singh the temple of the Lord Balarama (Dauji Mandir) was built in the fort of Hathras.

At the end of the 18th century the kingdom was held by a Jat chieftain Indrajeet Singh Thainua, whose ruined fort still stands at the east end of the town (known as Quila, also broad gauge railway station: hathras Quila), and was later annexed by the British in 1803, but insubordination on the part of the chief necessitated the siege of the fort in 1817. Now it is a town in the state of Uttar Pradesh, 250 Kms off New Delhi, the capital of India.
