Baghpat | Jagran News Desk: Baghpat was once called 'Vyagprastha' - the land of tigers because of the tiger population discovered several centuries ago. There are numerous different accounts of how the city got its name. According to one legend, the city's original name was 'Vyagprasth,' while another version claims the name comes from the Hindi term 'Vakyaprasth,' which means 'site of giving speeches.' During the Mughal Era, the city was eventually named 'BAGHPAT' or 'BAGPAT'. Following the 1857 Sepoy Mutiny, the city gained prominence and became the administrative centre of Tehsil Baghpat.

Baghpat is located on the banks of the Yamuna river. It is 52 kilometres from Meerut City and 40 kilometres from Delhi on the major Delhi-Sharanpur Highway. Baghpat is a rectangular district with a north-south orientation rather than an east-west one. It is only around 40 kilometres from the national capital, New Delhi.
