'''Faridpur''' is a town and a small [[nagar palika]] in [[Bareilly district]] in the Indian state of [[Uttar Pradesh]]. Faridpur is known for [[zari]] work.

==History==
Faridpur was originally called '''Pura''' and is traditionally said to have been founded by a branch of the [[Katehria]] Rajputs who had been driven out from [[Bareilly]] sometime between 1657 and 1679. The name was changed to ''Faridpur'' by [[Sheikh Farid]], governor of Bareilly in the period immediately before the [[Rohilla]]s came to power. It was originally part of the [[pargana]] of Karor, but that pargana was split in two during the 1700s, with the southern part becoming the pargana of [[Tisua]] while the remaining northern part, originally called ''tappa'' Khalilpur, became known as the pargana of Faridpur. Sometime in the early 1800s, Faridpur was made the seat of a new [[tehsil]], and in c. 1825 it absorbed Tisua into its jurisdiction.<ref name="Gazetteer">{{cite book |last1=Nevill |first1=H.R. |title=Bareilly - A Gazetteer |date=1911 |publisher=Government Press |location=Allahabad |page=227-33 |url=https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.47989 |access-date=27 January 2021}}</ref>

Around the turn of the 20th century, Faridpur was described as a long, narrow town, with a "neat, well-kept appearance". It consisted of two distinct parts, '''Bharatpur''' and '''Sarai Qasba''', which were counted as separate [[mauza]]s for administrative purposes. Markets were held three times a week, generating a large amount of commercial activity. The tehsil office and police station had been state-of-the-art at the time of their construction, but by the early 1900s they had fallen into disrepair. Together with the [[registration office]], they were located around a shady courtyard that was surrounded by a ditch. There was also a new dispensary, a post office, a cattle-pound, two [[caravanserai|sarai]]s, a middle vernacular school, a girls' school, and two small aided schools, one of which was located in the town's main [[mosque]]. There were also several [[Hindu]] temples, one of which held a small fair in honor of [[Devi]] once a month, while larger gatherings happened annually on [[Vijayadashami|Dusahra]]. There was also a large [[Muslim]] gathering called the Basi fair on the 8th of [[Jumada al-awwal]].<ref name="Gazetteer"/>
