'''Hasanpur''' is a city and a municipality in [[Amroha district]] of [[Uttar Pradesh]], [[India]]. The city is around 120 kilometeres from the national capital Delhi and 12 km from the NH-24. Hasanpur is known for its diversity and communal harmony. The town consists of a Kotwali (Police Stationj), a Community Health Center(Govt. Hospital) and many banks.

==History==
Hasanpur is named after a [[Pathan]] ruler named Hasan Khan, also called Mubarak Khan, who drove out the previous [[Goshain]] rulers and gained control of the town in 1634. The Pathans remained the primary [[zamindar]]s until the 20th century, although at the turn of the century the most important Pathan family was the Nimwala family, who were of more recent origin than the original founders. The Nimwalas traced their ancestry three or four generations back to one Bahadur Ali Khan.<ref name="Gazetteer">{{cite book |last1=Nevill |first1=H.R. |title=Moradabad - A Gazetteer |date=1911 |publisher=Government Press |location=Allahabad |pages=215–6 |url=https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.531222 |access-date=22 January 2021}}</ref>

During the late 1800s, Hasanpur grew in importance as a trade centre, and some [[Bania (caste)|Banias]] became fairly wealthy, and its population increased from 8,082 in 1847 to 9,579 in 1901. At that time its population was about 50% [[Muslim]] and 50% [[Hindu]]. The neighboring settlement of [[Mubarakpur, Uttar Pradesh|Mubarakpur]] was incorporated into Hasanpur in 1877. In the early 20th century the main industry was [[cotton]] cloth. There was a police station, a dispensary, a [[caravanserai|sarai]], a cattle pound, and a post office, along with one [[middle school]], one [[primary school]], and one [[girls' school]]. There were also two private schools, one teaching [[Arabic]] and the other teaching [[Sanskrit]]. The Arabic school was run by one Haji Ahmad Husain Khan<ref name="Gazetteer"/>
