==History==
It was one of the five villages demanded by Pandavas for the sake of peace and to avert a disastrous war, Krishna proposed that if Hastinapur agrees to give the Pandavas only five villages named Indraprastha ([[Delhi]]), Swarnprastha ([[Sonipat]]), Panprastha ([[Panipat]]), Vyaghrprastha ([[Baghpat]]) and Tilprastha (Tilpat) if these five villages was given to pandavas then they would be satisfied and would make no more demands. Duryodhana vehemently refused, commenting that he would not part even with land as much as the point of a needle. Thus the stage was set for the great war, for which the epic of Mahabharata is known most of all.<ref>{{Cite web|title=इन पांच गांवों के कारण हुआ था पांडव और कौरवों में महाभारत का युद्ध {{!}} mahabharata war|url=https://hindi.webdunia.com/mahabharat/mahabharata-war-118070900009_1.html|access-date=2020-09-02|website=hindi.webdunia.com|language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=2019-12-05|title=Geeta Jayanti 2019: पांडवों ने कौरवों से मांगे थे ये पांच गांव जानिए इनके बारे में|url=https://www.naidunia.com/spiritual/vrat-tyohar-geeta-jayanti-2019-had-asked-these-five-villages-from-kauravas-know-about-these-4030796|access-date=2020-09-02|website=Nai Dunia|language=hi}}</ref>

At the time of the [[Mughal emperor]] [[Aurangzeb]] in the year 1600, Tilpat was called Tilpat Garhi. In 1669, Tilpat became the centre of [[Jats]] revolted under [[Gokula]], the [[zamindar]] of Tilpat. A remarkable feature of this rebellion was its composite character. Though the Jats counted for its majority and provided leadership to it, it consisted of other local people as well such as Mev, Meena, Ahir, Gujar, Naruka, Panwar and others. The rebels gathered at the village of [[Sahora]] (about 6 miles from [[Mathura, Uttar Pradesh|Mathura]]). Abdun Nabi, the faujdar of [[Mathura]], attacked them. At first he appeared to be gaining ground, but in the middle of the fighting he was killed on 12 May 1669 (21st Zil-Hijja, 1079 A.H.).{{cn|date=August 2021}} Fighting continued for three days in which muskets and bows were used by the contestants. On the fourth day, the royalists charged the besieged from all sides and having made a breach in the walls entered Tilpat.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Sharma|first1=Gautam|title=Valour and Sacrifice: Famous Regiments of the Indian Army|date=1990|publisher=Allied Publishers|isbn=9788170231400|pages=152–153|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=xLrTzZd0j1kC&pg=PA152&dq=aurangzeb+Tilpat&hl=en&sa=X&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=aurangzeb%20Tilpat&f=false|accessdate=19 November 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last1=Awrangābādī, Shāhnavāz, Prashad|first1=Shāhnavāz Khān, ʻAbd al-Ḥayy ibn, Baini|title=The Maāt̲h̲ir-ul-umarā: being biographies of the Muhammadan and Hindu officers of the Timurid sovereigns of India from 1500 to about 1780 A.D.|publisher=Asiatic Society, 1979; Low Price Publications, 1999|isbn=9788175361591|page=437|edition=1|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=EEIrANXlDRYC&q=bibliogroup:%22The+Maathir-ul-umara%22&dq=bibliogroup:%22The+Maathir-ul-umara%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CBsQ6AEwAGoVChMIppuRhrScyQIVT9SOCh210QmM|accessdate=30 Jul 2008}}</ref>
