In state government records it is known as Hussainabad but central government recognizes it by the name of Japla. In 1740, 'Hidayat Ali Khan' (born 1700) was nominated as [[Jagir]]dar of newly made jagir named as Japla in Jharkhand state (earlier it was in Bihar) by the Mughal emperor Muhammad Shah. He also got the title of Nawab. This region was part of Kamsaar-o-bar and Hidayat Ali belonged to [[Dildarnagar Kamsar]] in [[Ghazipur]]. Because of some family dispute he along with his family left their native area in 1765 and came to [[Medininagar|Daltonsganj]] and bought 100,000 [[Bigha]] or 25271 hectares of land. On that land Hidayat Ali Khan's family established 10 villages and two towns which are now named as Mohammad Ganj, Haider nagar. These 12 places are also known as Chotka Kamsaar. These 14 places (now two tehsils) were the part of Kamsaar Raj till 1720 later the family divided the estate.<ref>{{Cite web|title="Evolution and Spatial Organization of Clan Settlements: A Case Study of Middle Ganga Valley"|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=dxDWbsztdVQC&q=Kamsar|url-status=live}}</ref> Hidayt Ali Khan got married with Azmat Zohra Begum who was a native of a village naer Japla.

Hussainabad (Japla) is a small town in Jharkhand serving as the main market for nearby villages. It is on the border of Jharkhand and [[Bihar]]. The Railway station is called 'Japla'.

Railway is the main source for intercity commutation but local buses and small vehicles also operate between nearby cities.

Approximately 4 km from Japla is Sone Valley Cements Limited (formerly known as Sone Valley Port Land Cement Company Limited), on the bank of Sone river, which ceased operating in 1993. It was first Portland cement factory of India established during [[British Empire|British]] regime. It is said{{by whom|date=October 2015}} that the Mohraon Bungalow of Sone valley Cements was among some of the finest bungalows in the state of Bihar, and equipped with modern amenities. After the closure of the factory, the bungalow became dilapidated. Initial economic growth in Japla could be attributed to the cement factory, whose employees visited town to purchase goods for day-to-day needs, thus promoting the town's trade and commerce. The town now serves as the main market for nearby villages.{{citation needed|date=October 2015}}
