City of Firozabad

Firozabad (Hindustani pronunciation: [fɪɾoːzaːbaːd̪]) is a city near Agra in Firozabad district in the state of Uttar Pradesh in India. It is the centre of India's glassmaking industry and is known for the quality of the bangles and glassware produced here. During the reign of Akbar, revenue was brought through the city, which was looted by the Afghans. Akbar sent his army led by the Mansab Dar, Firoz Shah, to make the city a cantonment to collect taxes and the city of Chandrawar was renamed as Firozabad after him. The tomb of Firoz Shah is located in the city. From early times, it had glass and bangle works, and small scale industry. The landowners of Firozabad hail from the Siddiqui, Sayed, Manihar, Pathan and the Hindu Rajput castes. Firozabad is located in north central India, in Uttar Pradesh, 44 km (27 mi) from Agra, 22 km (14 mi) from Shikohabad, 88 km (55 mi) from Etawah and around 274 km (170 mi) from New Delhi via Yamuna Expressway at the northern edge of the Deccan Plateau, at 27°09′N 78°24′E.
