He gave the town in ''[[jagir]]'' to Bahadur Khan and Tej Khan, [[Baloch people|Baloch]] rulers of [[Farrukhnagar]] in 1754, who changed its name from Sharafabad to Bahadurgarh.<ref>{{cite web |title=Bahadurgarh |url= https://dsal.uchicago.edu/reference/gazetteer/pager.html?objectid=DS405.1.I34_V06_200.gif|year=1909 |page= 194, v. 6|publisher=[[The Imperial Gazetteer of India]] |access-date=3 August 2009}}</ref> One of their ruler, Bahadur Khan, constructed a fort in 1793 CE and named it Bahadurgarh Fort. Baloch Nawabs were defeated by [[Maratha empire|Maratha]] forces and Bahadurgarh came into the hands of [[Sindhia]] in 1793. After Sindhia's defeat in 1803 at the hands of the [[British raj]], [[Lord Lake]] transferred control of the town's government to the brother of the [[Nawab]] of Jhajjar in the aftermath of [[Treaty of Surji-Anjangaon]]. '''Bahadurgarh Fort''' is also called '''Singh Dwar''' or '''Gateway of Haryana'''.<ref name=ta2>Sohan Singh Khattar and Reena Kar, 2021, [https://books.google.com.sg/books?id=M60zEAAAQBAJ&pg=PA308&dq=history+of+loharu+fort&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjj563egdLyAhVc7XMBHdPrDcwQ6AEwAHoECAMQAg#v=onepage&q=history%20of%20loharu%20fort&f=false Know Your State Haryana], Arihant Publications, pp 308.</ref>

During 1995–1998, a series of rapes and murders of young girls by the [[Satish (Bahadurgarh baby killer)|Bahadurgarh baby killer]] led to several [[dharna]]s and [[bandh]]s by the local population. The police prosecuted three men as the "baby killer", before the real culprit was caught in November 1998.<ref name="Tribune_Nithari_2007">{{cite news |url=http://www.tribuneindia.com/2007/20070116/haryana.htm#1 |title=Nithari-like case at Bahadurgarh |date=2007-01-16 |newspaper=The Tribune |author=Yoginder Gupta }}</ref><ref name="Dalbir2006">{{cite book |author=Dalbir Bharti |title=Police And People : Role And Responsibilities |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=YPL8Htpu0m8C&pg=PA204 |year=2006 |publisher=APH Publishing |isbn=978-81-313-0045-9 |pages=204–209 }}</ref>
