Following independence in 1947, Rampur State acceded to [[History of India (1947-present)|India]]. It was merged into the [[United Provinces (1937–50)|United Provinces]],{{cn|date=June 2020}} which would later become [[Uttar Pradesh]].

==Origin==
The Rampur State was established by [[Nawab Faizullah Khan]] on 7 October 1774, in the presence of British Commander Colonel Champion, and remained a pliant state under British protection thereafter. Faizullah Khan was a leader among the [[Rohillas]] and a member of the [[Rohilla dynasty]]. He was the son of [[Ali Mohammed Khan]], founder of the [[Kingdom of Rohilkhand]]— a [[Jat Muslim|Jat]] by origin who was adopted and converted by Sardar Daud Khan [[Barech]].<ref name="Irvine 1971 p.118">{{cite book |last=Irvine |first=W. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ak5oFjTys8MC |title=Later Mughal |publisher=Atlantic Publishers & Distri |year=1971 |page=118 |quote=Once Daud was sent against the village of Bankauli, in pargana Chaumahla, with which his employer was at feud.

For the [[Rohillas]], Rampur State was one of the most important princely states in Hindustan.{{cn|date=July 2025}}

In the 19th century, the [[Nawabs of Rampur]] claimed that Ali Mohammed Khan was a [[Barha dynasty|Barha Sayyid]] and started using the title of Sayyid. However, they could not present any [[pedigree chart|pedigree]] in the support of this claim.<ref name=":2">{{Cite book |last=Gommans |first=Jos J.

== History==
The [[First Rohilla War]] began when the [[Rohilla]]s reneged on a debt they owed to the [[Nawab of Oudh]] for military assistance against the [[Maratha Empire]] in 1772. The Rohillas were defeated and driven from their former capital of [[Bareilly]] by the Nawab of [[Oudh]] with the assistance of the [[British East India Company|East India Company]]'s troops lent by [[Warren Hastings]].<ref name=EB1911>{{cite EB1911 |wstitle=Rampur |volume=22 |page=877}}</ref>

The first stone of the new Fort at Rampur was laid and the city of [[Rampur, Uttar Pradesh|Rampur]] founded in 1775 by Nawab Faizullah Khan. Originally it was a group of four villages named Kather, the name of Raja Ram Singh. The first Nawab proposed to rename the city 'Faizabad'. But many other places were known by the name Faizabad so its name was changed to Mustafabad alias Rampur. Nawab Faizullah Khan ruled for 20 years. He was a great patron of scholarship, and began the collection of [[Arabic language|Arabic]], [[Persian language|Persian]], [[Turkic language|Turkish]] and [[Urdu language|Urdu]] manuscripts which now make up the bulk of the [[Rampur Raza Library]]. After his death, his son Muhammad Ali Khan took over. He was killed by the [[Rohilla]] leaders after 24 days, and Ghulam Muhammad Khan – the brother of the deceased, was proclaimed Nawab. The East India Company took exception to this, and after a reign of just 3 months and 22 days Ghulam Muhammad Khan was defeated by its forces, and the Governor-General made Ahmad Ali Khan, son of the late Muhammad Ali Khan, the new Nawab. He ruled for 44 years. He did not have any sons, so Muhammad Sa'id Khan, son of Ghulam Muhammad Khan, took over as the new Nawab. He raised a regular Army, established Courts and carried out many works to improve the economic conditions of farmers. His son Muhammad Yusuf Ali Khan took over after his death. His son Kalb Ali Khan became the new Nawab after his death in 1865.

[[Nawab]] [[Kalb Ali Khan of Rampur|Kalb Ali Khan]] was literate in Arabic and Persian. Under his rule the state did much work to uplift standards of education. He was also a Member of Council during the Viceroyalty of Lord [[John Lawrence, 1st Baron Lawrence|John Lawrence]]. He built the Jama Masjid in Rampur at a cost of Rs. 300,000. He was also knighted in Agra by the Prince of Wales. He ruled for 22 years and 7 months. After his death his son Mushtaq Ali Khan took over. He appointed W. C. Wright as the Chief Engineer of the estate. He built many new buildings and canals. Nawab Hamid Ali became the new ruler in 1889 at the age of 14. Many new schools were opened during his reign, and many donations were provided to nearby colleges. He donated Rs. 50,000 to Lucknow Medical College. In 1905 he built the magnificent [[Durbar (court)|Darbar]] Hall within the Fort which now houses the great collection of Oriental manuscripts held by the Rampur Raza Library. His son Raza Ali Khan became the last ruling Nawab in 1930. Nawab Raza Ali Khan was a very progressive ruler who believed in the Inclusion of Hindus and so appointed Lt. Col. Horilal Varma – Bar At Law as his Prime Minister. On 1 July 1949 the State of Rampur was merged into the Republic of India. Rampur today presents a slightly decayed appearance: the palaces of the Nawabs are crumbling, as are the gates and walls of the fort. However, the Library remains a flourishing institution of immense value to scholars from all over the world.

The Nawabs of Rampur sided with the British during [[Indian Rebellion of 1857]]<ref name=EB1911/> and this enabled them to continue to play a role in the social, political and cultural life of Northern India in general and the Muslims of United Provinces in particular. They gave refuge to some of the literary figures from the Court of [[Bahadur Shah II|Bahadur Shah ''Zafar'']].

===Music===
{{see also|Rampur-Sahaswan gharana}}

The [[Rampur-Sahaswan gharana]] of Hindustani classical music also has its origins in court musicians. Ustad Mehboob Khan, was a [[khayal]] singer and Veena player of the Rampur court; his son Ustad [[Inayat Hussain Khan]] (1849–1919), who trained and lived in the city, founded the gharana.

The Nawabs of Rampur gave patronage to traditional music in their court. Mehboob Khan was the chief [[khyal]] singer of the royal court of Rampur State, his tradition was followed by his son [[Inayat Hussain Khan]] (1849–1919) and in turn by Inyat's brothers-in-law, Haider Khan (1857–1927), and Mushtaq Hussein Khan (d. 1964), which gave rise to the [[Rampur-Sahaswan gharana]] of [[Hindustani classical music]], the latter being their ancestral place, [[Sahaswan]], in present-day [[Badaun district]].<ref>[[#Wa|Wade. p. 136]]</ref>

Nawab [[Faizullah Khan]], the first Nawab of Rampur, established the [[Rampur Raza Library]] from his personal collection of manuscripts and miniature specimens of Islamic calligraphy in 1774. The succeeding Nawabs continued to be patrons of scholars, poets, painters, calligraphers and musicians, enabling the library to grow rapidly. The [[Indian government]] would take over the library in 1975.<ref>{{cite report |author=[[Ministry of Culture (India)]] |date=2022 |title=Annual Report 2021-22 |url=https://www.indiaculture.nic.in/sites/default/files/Mou%20Library/Rampur%20Raza%20Library0001.pdf |publisher=[[Government of India]] |page=229 |quote="The world fame Rampur Raza Library was founded by Nawab Faizullah Khan in 1774.

[[File:Rampur Greyhound from 1915.JPG|thumb|A palace attendant with a Rampur Hound in 1915]]
Nawab [[Ahmad Ali Khan of Rampur]] is credited with developing the [[dog breed]] known as the [[Rampur Hound]]. The Rampur Hound is the result of cross-breeding the ''Sag-e Tazi'' [[Afghan Hound]] with the [[English Greyhound]]. He named the dogs after his capital.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://rareindianbreeddogs.blogspot.com/2010/01/rampur-hound.html |title=Rampur Hound |access-date=7 September 2015 |archive-date=14 January 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210114061732/http://rareindianbreeddogs.blogspot.com/2010/01/rampur-hound.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

After the [[Indian Mutiny of 1857]], the ''khansamas'' (chefs) from erstwhile Mughal imperial courts shifted to Rampur, bringing along with them the [[Mughal cuisine]] tradition.<ref>{{cite news |title=Kebabs, kings and other Rampuri tales |url=http://www.mid-day.com/lifestyle/2013/mar/260313-mumbai-guide-kebabs-kings-and-other-rampuri-tales.htm |publisher=MiD DAY |date=26 March 2013 |access-date=29 May 2013 |archive-date=11 July 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220711104835/https://www.mid-day.com/lifestyle/2013/mar/260313-mumbai-guide-kebabs-kings-and-other-rampuri-tales.htm |url-status=live }}</ref> Gradually people from other places also found a haven here, adding influences of [[Awadhi cuisine|Awadhi]], [[Hyderabadi cuisine|Hyderabad]] and [[Kashmiri cuisine]].<ref>{{cite news |title=The Rampuri flavour: The Rampuri food festival at Mascot Hotel takes you on a voyage of discovery |url=http://www.hindu.com/mp/2004/08/30/stories/2004083002180300.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20041222035301/http://www.hindu.com/mp/2004/08/30/stories/2004083002180300.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=22 December 2004 |date= 30 August 2004 |work=[[The Hindu]] |access-date=29 May 2013}}</ref> It is also known for its distinct flavours and dishes with recipes passed on from the royal kitchen, like ''Rampuri fish'', ''Rampuri [[Korma]]'', ''Rampuri mutton [[kebab]]s'', ''Doodhiya [[Biryani]]'' and ''adrak ka [[Halva|halwa]]''.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.livemint.com/2010/01/22203755/The-culinary-cartographer.html|title=The culinary cartographer|date=22 January 2010|work=Mint|archive-date=16 January 2012|access-date=29 May 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120116071653/http://www.livemint.com/2010/01/22203755/The-culinary-cartographer.html|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.business-standard.com/india/storypage.php?autono=270513|title=Sharp cuts from the Rampuri !|date=7 January 2007|work=Business Standard|archive-date=4 October 2012|access-date=29 May 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121004185305/http://www.business-standard.com/india/storypage.php?autono=270513|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.indianexpress.com/oldStory/77009/|title=Mutton Korma in Rampur|date=28 August 2005|work=Indian Express|archive-date=11 January 2011|access-date=29 May 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110111152159/http://www.indianexpress.com/oldStory/77009|url-status=live}}</ref>
