Etawah, Administrative town in Uttar Pradesh, India

The urban center lies at the meeting point of the Yamuna and Chambal rivers, with a population of 256,838 residents according to census data.

During the Indian Rebellion of 1857, Allan Octavian Hume, who later established the Indian National Congress, served as district collector in this region.

The name Etawah stems from ancient brick-making activities, as laborers discovered valuable bricks while constructing a fort under King Sumershah's direction.

Etawah Junction railway station connects travelers to major cities, positioned 300 kilometers southeast of Delhi and 230 kilometers northwest of Lucknow.

Remnants of the Great Hedge of India, a historical inland customs barrier constructed by British administrators, remain visible in this district.
