History

There exist remnants of a fort believed to be built by Chandragupta Maurya in 300 BC. The original name of the village could not be ascertained but the fort became famous as Islamgarh Fort with the passage of time. The fort of Islamgarh had remained under Aurangzeb Alamgir, Ahmed Shah Abdali, and Ranjit Singh and their forces.^[1]
